Mixed emotions on this topic. Ironically, as a Maritime Photographer, I find the idea curious, indeed. (and could provide a plethora of graphics =]).
I witnessed one player having a "Sailing" skill melt-down; she screamed that "Sailing" will destroy the nostalgic ambiance of OSRS... a valid concern.
I, refer to myself, as a RS player since 2006ish, a "98% self-sufficient"; if I can level up to make an item, get assistance or another player to accomplish obstacles by "skilling" it, instead of just buying anything from weapon/armour to potions & notions,...I go that route.
SO! IF Sailing will demand the Old School Tradition of "Skilling" not allowing the experience to be "Bought"; not allowing ports access unless "Earned", not make this into another commercialized (and what drove me away from RS3) and the endless barrage of "entertainment",, like a Retirement Home where we would wilt if not constantly stimulated, then I'd vote "Yes".
Otherwise, Jagex, don't **** in my boot and tell me it's raining. Leave us Old Schoolers to our mundane existence and go stimulate my former clan on RS3. Hi DragonLanders =D
Meep, Meep! jmorstudio.sharemyartwork.c'mon over and enjoy

I voted Yes as Sailing would actually be a very interesting skill to give it a go. Sadly, the poll may fall flat due to the NO that will make the poll fall short of curtain amount of votes.

But I also noticed TWO prayers that are included. Augury & Rigour. I would at least want these two prayers to be added as it would help both mages and rangers. (Melee in OSRS is still the most used and is the strongest combat to use...)

But should these two prayers be added in. They should have a defence requirement as well as the Pet*y and the weaker version prayer also needed defence. At least a defence lvl of 70 or 75 would be appropriate for the payer. and to get this prayer. It would be going through the Knight's training program after completing the King's Ransom quest.

Please state your opinion about the two prayers. And if you don't support Please tell me why not?

Now, I vote no, that should be established. Not because I want to preserve the "Old School Style" (I voted for Zulrah, Ceberus, etc.). I don't have all 99's, so I could still train it without being butthurt. Not to mention, I didn't leave the community out in my thoughts, as this is a huge update.

To me personally, it seems cool sure, but I don't like how the basic mechanics work imo. It seems clunky, and I do not like how you would move your ship like a normal character. It just seems like a re-skin of something that could have been another entire part of Zeah. The community should be entitled have some sort of distinction between each other, rather than 10-15 different types of ships. There are already pets and skill capes for showing off. You don't really get to see those on a boat, unless they add an update to somehow have this (Kree'ara flying over a ship would be pretty sick not going to lie)

Now tell me this before you want to rant against me; why do you still play? It's obvious why we're all here; the oldschool style is the nostalgia we wanted, don't lie. However, it should really be a continuation of 2007 and onwards with new content, not a moment frozen in time. If you're stuck in 2007, get over yourself and realize updates do happen. And, if you're here just to play only the new stuff that gets added due to you becoming bored of everything else, you better be ready to realize that everyone has an opinion, and that people do have different opinions than you, whether they be logical or stupid.

I regret not voting for Artisian to pass, because in reality it doesn't even come close to the size of this update, and it had a lot more benefits for the community to flow from skillers to PvM to PvP. The best strategy is to implement a level cap to around 25 to give it a test. I would probably end up voting yes if I could play it myself beforehand.

To the Oldschool developers; you didn't do anything wrong. Just save it for Zeah next time.
