This reminds me of Icerigger by Alan Dean Foster, now I am going to have to find out if there were any sequels.

There was one; Mission to Moulokin.
Of course there were a bunch of books set in his Humanx Commonwealth

I found out that there are two, "Mission to Moulokin" and "The Deluge Drivers". Both are now on my Amazon wish list. I shall expand into his Humanx Commonwealth once I have read those two.

In Search of Space?

IMO Icerigger is the best of the three.  The survival aspect (after the crash) adds something the others lack.  Although having said that they are all a good read.

Yes, that's it.

I was in search of In Search of Space.

Maybe something like this on skids or skates (but built so that it is likely to stay upright)?

... Does an ice ship need to have only upright masts? Masts angled to the sides might not be the best for sailing into the wind though.
