I had a lot of fun with Sailwind, maybe give it a try

There are a couple of ships you can sail with a simple economic engine - you start small and work up. It has some simple sail handling - its not enough to just turn right/left and manage sails up/down. Multi-sail ships are an interesting challenge but manageable.

It's pretty slow-paced, but like I said, I had a lot of fun with it for ~20 hours.
