The Captain's Boat

Written by Rory Fansler
A PC having their own starship is a popular concept but it costs a lot of money (thus points) and the rich captain certainly does not cover the range of concepts. Allies as vehicles are a suggested alternative but dont really work well for larger vehicles and can be too many points when the vehicle sits out of most fights.
The author was trying to come up with a different option and hit upon the idea of using Patron. Patrons can after all be organizations which covers the NPC crew and provide resources.
This article goes into that idea in detail and includes example vehicle types at various tech levels, including Age of Sail.
