Sailing, & Solo Pirate Build

[Tyr]

Right now I`m only lvl 8 Sailing. I enjoy the Sailing aspect of the game. & will be probable be solo alot. & since this game doesen`t give any respects(let you redo your skill points), What is a Solid Solo Sailing Build?

Right now I have:
1/5 Full Sail
5/5 Wind Catcher
with 1 point left over.

I know eventually I will need to 5/5 Left Broadside , & 5/5 Right Broadside. Should I hold off on leveling these up do to earning more rep for less damage? or start leveling them up right away?

So far my tactics have been to use my sloop. Get behind them, & start firing away on them. & If they are a heavy hitter I use Full Sail to get behind them, & avoid being hit.

In future play as a Solo Pirate do I need to change to a different type of ship? & If so do I need to change my tactics.
