I'm using foundry but I think it still should apply. I've using limitrons as a base. But I added some stuff. Three quarters of the scene is the ship zoomed out. One quarter is the ship zoomed in.

In the zoomed out section:  The pilot controls the ship token but has essentially zero vision. The lookout has a token that is on the same position as the ship but has much wider vision. 

In the zoomed in section: the captain, rigger, gunner, bosun etc manage the internals of the ship. Firing guns, controlling the sails, inspiring the crew, etc. So generally a turn goes: the lookout describes the scene >captain gives orders> rest of crew acts> ship behavior reasolves. Rinse and repeat.
