Best Way to Level up Sailing?

I'm currently sailing level 8 trying to get to 15 to buy my War Galleon (I've been saving up :) ) and I can't seem to level very quickly. It's taking roughly an hour to level ONCE, and I'm wondering if any of you guys have tips to level up sailing faster.
 
Sinking ships usually gets me pretty good sailing xp, the land enemies just don't seem to give it for some reason, probably a bug, it is beta after all.
But for real now, more shots hit means more xp. Have your round shot and broadside on 1 so it takes the longest to kill. Find a war galleon and disable the sails, then move to the front so it can't hit you and whittle it down with broadside until it sinks. Doing so should get you about 100 rep a ship.

Buy a standard galleon, and sink ships by Padres. I was in this same predicament, and managed to reach sailing level 15 within my first week of playing the game.
