Sailing Levels

[Grandpa]

I'm missing something when it comes to sailing. I have a large (6 gun) ship and am at level 8 on cannons; but only level one on sailing.

How do you increase this skill? I show the left and right broadsides in my skills button, but the only two cannon skills available to me (right ckick of mouse) is the standard cannon ball and the grappling hook. I even bought some chain shot, but it doesn't appear anywhere.

It sure would be nice if they released a preliminary version of the Player's Guide.
