I'll give you a "bye" this time, Simon, because you really didn't talk about rules :-).
The activity above would fit well in a RQ, or Traveller, or Pendragon-based game. I'm betting that all ships (as opposed to boats) in Glorantha have this level of magic "built in". (Boats may have a lesser level of magic built in, and reed rafts - probably very little, relying on the magic of the owner instead of uinvesting magic into something that will only last a season anyway, but that's for the Players to decide, ultimately...)
