And here is where I am

Left Broadside (5/5)
Right Broadside (4/5)
Full Sail (3/5)
Come About (1/5)
Open Fire (1/5) (But I want this one back since I haven't seen where it is useful- maybe if I sailed with more crews but I still have my doubts)
Ramming Speed (1/5)
Take Cover (0/5) (Unlocks next level)
Recharge (0/5) (Unlocked but not taken)

Windcatcher (2/5)
Tacking (2/5)
Treasure Sense (1/5)
Taskmaster: (0/5) (Unlocked but not taken yet. I will take it I was just beefing up the Broadsides first)

So I have a few more points coming to me before I master sailing. My plan is:
20 Take Cover
21 Task Master
22 Treasure Sense (2nd Point)
23 Recharge

and then 2 more points for 24 and 25. I'm not sure where I want to put them. Or if I should just save them in case they add any more new skills.

I don't use come about very much since I usually try to line things up in the approach so the sudden turns aren't as needed (but the smaller turning radius with Tacking is very useful).

Full sail and Ramming speed are useful for getting out of sticky spots (like sailing solo out of Padres and it's a near wall of ogres, reapers and men of war or down to really low hull and need to get to an island before losing the cargo).

This combo is working very well in my War Sloop and I expect it would work nicely in a War Frigate too. The only one that might give me some regrets (other than that point in "Open Fire") is the War Galleon but I might have enough in the Passive Skills to still make the girl a little lighter on the waves than you might think.
