Kafufle, I like your other idea about kegs (I think that was you) and such, but this seems a bit off from the sailing part. In the movies, Jack only uses ships from the Navy in order to get back to the Pearl, and if you got on a navy/eitc/skeleton ship there would be crew, possible quite high level enemy crew (Can you see a LVL5 trying to board a LVL49 Juggy) and if the pirate ship is attacking the navy/eitc/skeleton ship then once you boarded, you'd be blown to smithereens, causing many players to become angry with their crew.
Then about weather, this might make some players just sit next to a Juggy or a Death Omen in a light sloop, fire one broadside, then wait for the weather to kill it. Also, most people like having to have skill, for it makes it balanced so a navy bulwark can't kill my War Galleon.
Although Ofury/Tom's idea was awesome to do in the old POTCO, where you could pick off canoneers and such. I remember once my crew shot the driver of a flagship, and all the people on it and we won. Plus, take cover says that players on the ship are immune to damage, then we should be able to be hit by cannons.

I just think your ideas need some tweaking.
