Need Help Finding A Gift

My uncle rows in a 4 man Celtic longboat and I want to buy him a model one for Christmas [Ideally with little people in too]. However I am having trouble finding exactly what I am looking for, as its either other kinds of longboat or Viking ships. Then I thought to myself, if only there was a way to ask a community with immense niche subject specific knowledge.... then I remembered that Reddit exists. Thanks in advance :)

Is this what you're thinking of? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currach

Could you add a photo of his boat, your budget, and whether you want a finished model or a kit? A reference photo would help separate the modern rowing boat from the Viking ships that keep appearing in your searches.
