Ok Sails deal with AP (Action Points)
Crew has to do with boarding other ships. More crew=better chance of successfully boarding the enemy and taking their cargo
I recommend trading a lot at the beginning, this allows you to get a large amount of gold stored to fix your ships after battle. After you save up several thousand gold pieces, you should start slow and take out single ships (the "power" of each fleet is represented by a small number in the top right corner) slowly build up your force as you see fit. Upgrades can be very helpful but on certain ships you should just save up for the next model. I beat the Dutchman with 3 Ships-of-The Line fully upgraded and in my opinion it was easier then some pirate battles. I give the game a solid 5/5. It has good semi in-depth customization of your fleet only lacking a custom flag/color editor, that is minor tho. For the battles it has great tactical detail, Ex. Aim at Crew, which then increases your chance of successfully boarding.
