I've found the "crazy A" servers to be good for crew matching. To master cannons once level 24, I stopped using crew matching and sailed southwest of Cuba alone, and parked. To do that, you have to be able to aim with the mouse. Using the arrow keys is not accurate enough to hit the masts (ever.) Once the bad guys got within a 1/2 compass radius from me, I'd start sailing again.
Again, even though arrow keys seem to work, you cannot use them to properly aim cannons. That's why the Bo Beck training has you use the mouse. Difficulty aiming, 9 times out of 10, is because someone is trying to use keyboard to aim. It just doesn't work.
To get my French tattoo (just dropped the Spanish quest instead of even trying) I had to use the "run-for-ammo-when-the-ship-I'm-on-is-yellow" method that someone described above. I got over 40k too many times...but a glitch ship would come along and sink our war frigate in two shots. Don't know what else to tell you there, but I feel your pain.
