I leave white balance set at auto, and sometimes set it to cloudy to warm up a shot. I don't use D lighting. And turn off all noise reduction options.I tend to shoot at 200 ISO almost all the time.To address your outdoor washed  out  exposures. I have to meter mine at -2/3 for best outdoor results. Although a friend of mine shoots a D90 also. His does best outdoors metered at 0. So you might try under exposing @ -1/3, or -2/3 and just see what your meter likes.I also shoot 99% of the time in manual mode. And almost never use exposure compensation.Also for sailing shots. A circular polarizing filter might be a good idea. Might save those highlights.</blockquote>
