River boat sailor, own discipline or air sailor?

I am in the process of reading through the first trilogy and the river boat sections are marvelous enough to think that I could play such a T'skrang, but the problem is there ain't any disciplines tied to the rivers like with the airships.
So my question is; should such a character simply use the Air Sailor as is or are there river-lopped sailor disciplines to be found elsewhere?

There was a T'skrang discipline of Boatman in previous editions.
Perhaps if you wait for the 4th Edition Companion it may be included as a racial specific discipline, or just use the information from the 3rd Edition Namegivers of Barsaive book.

The racials will not be in the Companion.
Morgan addressed some of the racial/non-core Disciplines, and even did more complete builds for some of them (not official, but they will no doubt influence the official versions when/if we get around to releasing them).
His recommendation for Boatman is using Air Sailor with Pilot Boat/Sailing substituted for Air Sailing and Swimming (as a talent) in place of Wind Catcher. (Also, relevant karma abilities should be tweaked as appropriate for the vessel.)
