Volta Scirto
This is the home of the Volta Scirto (Spin Dancers) clan of the Sky Dancers*. It is a platform type Skyships. She is mostly made from Lightwood, and various other materials that have been added over the generations.
The skyship was originally built as a barge, a large platform that was towed between islands mostly carrying cargo, but passengers as well. It is now a combination of a cargo ship, circus, and a home for the majority of the clan. The ship usually only travels as fast as the wind, but at need can travel up to 20 mph. It can also rise to the upper levels of the atmosphere or descend. At normal speed, the children that are practicing their flying skills can easily keep up to the Volta.
Beneath the deck are rooms that hold the whole community, there is a market square, barbers, messhall, latrines, cargo bays, and anything else that a close-knit community could need. The net mounted below can also carry extra cargo at need, as well as a playground for the children of the clan. There are various motors, rotor blades, fins, superstructures, weapons, two large rigid inflatable structures, nets, sails, and landing platforms on all sides of this ship. A tentlike structure can also be mounted on the platform to protect the community from the weather.

How big is the Volta Scirto clan? the article makes it seem a bit like a small village, but the crew/compliment lists 6-20. its just giving me a bit of cognitive dissonance, but i cant quite place why. also, in the article you list the max speed as 20mph, but the sidebar has "40 speed." if thats a holdover for a homebrew stat block that should be fine, just something i noticed.
