"Simpulate?" That's one I will *definitely* have to add to my
lexicon. (Or was that unintentional? If so, it's still brilliant.)
Green window frames are hard to find, save on 6280 (1 per, I think?),
but a lot of the pirate ships have used 1x4x3 windows with shutters;
the green lattice inside shutters are the most common sort, IIRC,
and for the outer shutters green is common as dirt. If you don't
mind having square windows, it might be a prospect. It would also
give you a place from which to have a little sneak shoot a musket.

I see now that the swivel just wouldn't have done the trick on
that last pair--and yeah, moving guys around in the Pirate Game
is a hassle. Remember, if you accidentally drop him into the
water, there he stays...!
Now all you need are those sails. I'll look forward to seeing
the pictures here!
