Handra, which is relatively near the Nimistor River, was the first city visited by Dormal on his first voyage. The people there immediately started building ships and befriending the Triolini. This gives them 32 years to gain sailing experience. In ToTRM 10 Dormal cult history this almost immediately results in Kethaelans trying to suppress the ships of that resourceful city of Handra. Pirates from Alatan defeated the Pharoahs ships in 1582 and dominated their region of shore. (so Alatan pirates ruled Nimistor's coastline until 1585 when Alatan was attacked by Pasos. The pirates moved east (ie to the Nimistor region) and split up into pirate communities. (presumably Nimistor had at least one of these.)

So, plenty of room for experience there.
