Talking What is your Sailing Build?

I am curious what kinds of different builds there are out there for sailing? I am working on figuring out my own build and thought it would be nice if there was a place for people to see what works for others.

I am pretty sure you get 26 points on this skill because you start with 1 point on left broadside and 1 point on right broadside at lvl 1. Then you get 1 more point per level to lvl 25 for an additional 24 points.

Here is a template you can use. Use 0/5 if you did not take the skill at all.

Left Broadside (1/5)
Right Broadside (1/5)
Full Sail (*/5)
Come About (*/5)
Open Fire (*/5)
Ramming Speed (*/5)
Take Cover (*/5)

Windcatcher (*/5)
Tacking (*/5)
Treasure Sense (*/5)
Taskmaster: (*/5)

Total (*/26)

Notes:

Here is my planned build:

Left Broadside (5/5)
Right Broadside (3/5)
Full Sail (1/5)
Come About (1/5)
Open Fire (0/5)
Ramming Speed (1/5)
Take Cover (0/5)

Windcatcher (5/5)
Tacking (5/5)
Treasure Sense (0/5)
Taskmaster: (5/5)

Total (26/26)

Notes: I put 1 in full sail and ramming speed simply for a short burst of speed. Nothing more. Not sure how usefull come about is but it looked worth 1 point. With a gold cap of only 60K, not sure how useful treasure sense will be so I skipped it. All 3 other passives seemed critical to max. The remaining points went on broadside damage. Rather than go 4 left and 4 right, I decided I would try and use left more and maxed it.

That is mine. What works for you?
