Just had a neckfull of Canon marketing Woodbe. Either way the talk is of an engineering company verses a marketing company. That's the word in the industry.
Dingo have a look at the D40 it goes at 2.5 frames/second makes your budget, shutter goes to 1/4000 and it has a bulb function for those long exposures too.
Weatherproofing is something the real expensive pro cameras will have but you will lose some of that in the price range you are in. There are people who make waterproof housings for all DSLR's so you can just get one of those if you feel you need it.
The neat thing about getting a DSLR is you can get the glass to go with it and then just upgrade the camera in the future as finances allow should you desire. No need to buy new lenses.

Nikon D40.
Sailing pics don't necessarily mean a waterproof housing, just care to keep salt, water and sand away as much as possible, and expect a shorter body life.
