Hate to say it - but it is a compatible Vid Card issue. I had the same issue (a) couldn't board at all without crashing when I select a ship or (b) be finally on the ship but about 20-40 seconds later crash.
My ATI 2600 HD Pro 512MB Card will not let me sail - my crappy on-board Intel 945 Video lets me sail and play (though, due to its LOW memory I crash with the cannon bug / sailing bug - but at least I can play).
Put in a call three months agao - and several time since (about once every two weeks I put the good card back in and se4e if they fixed it - nope).
Thats all the info I have for now. I did find a document on ATI cards having this 'type' of issue with other games and will be experimenting with it again shortly - and if I find anything goood I'll post but not counting on it... I think a NVidia card is in my near future...
