Qlipot wasn't simply a wooden ship that moved with the winds. There were many enchantments around it and many of them helped with the movements and directions.
It was also a layer that provided extra protection to the boat, but the main function of these enchantments was to help with the movements in the turbulent weather, to protect the people from dangerous attacks, and to attract the friendly creatures to the boat.
There was a special area in the basement of the ship where the sailors of Qlipot could get fishes, seafood of various kinds, an area where the tamed sea creatures or even Familiars of the people of the boat could gather valuable things, and there was an area that was completely open on all sides so it almost gave a feeling of an open aquarium.
