Ok, sure... whatever.

A target dummy would work for both sword and shooting practice.

Another thought was, instead of the player carrying all of this around with them (unrealistic)... I wonder if there is a way to make the 'captains chest' hold these items and still apply the skill traits. That way, things that are not outwardly "worn" (jewelry), can be stored back on the boat.

Books, maps, practice equipement, ramrods, flintlocks and all that stuff that is ship enahncing.

I'd thought about a practice dummy, but forgot about it when I was listing the items later. Thanks for mentioning it.

Having a central location for skill enhancing items may be a good idea. That way all your officers get the skill enhancements too. This simplifies the current system of having to distribute skill items to each officer. This was the main reason I added the items exchange button to the character interface.

That was a VERY welcomed addition!

Also a great idea about the central location applying to your other officers. Why shouldn't they be allowed to read your books or practice with your equipment? Makes good sense.

Then those things that are worn for effect... they have to be bought seperately. Not everyone could share the super powerful lucky ring of boom boom! "mustcarry" and/or "storable" I guess would have to be a new flag added to such items... from what I've seen people do to this game, I doubt it would be very difficult.
