It depends on what you sail. There's no point in investing points in Broadsides when you drive a light sloop, yours or a friend's. Alot of people just use the Ramming Speed for the burst: if you're one such person, only one point should do it as I think only the first has an effect in speed.

As for cannons, with Open Fire activated by the sailor, all the points available for a certain shot in that shot, Barrage 5 points, and the Shoot/Rapid Reload (Thunder doesn't need Shoot at all, and neither does Grape: Grape was useful for light sloops when I last recall), a cannoneer can certainly do alot of damage.

I don't know of a universal sailing build, but quite a few cannon builds can do: I usually seperate them on whether or not I get points in Shoot.
