Yes, I like templates. I'm not that keen on generic backgrounds and prefer the idea of Homelands from HeroQuest.

Yes this is the best way to handle the topic. The cultural background defines if one is a good sailor to earn the titel "master sailor" or just an poor amateur who bought the titel from the authorities. The term "master sailor" is purely arbitrary because there are no guidelines in the rules if a "master" is 50% or 150%.

The term get only some sense if you know if this "master sailor" comes from dry Mongolia or from 15th century Venice.
