Does the AI use the Sailing attribute?

yes, the AI uses Sailing. Not very often, but it does use it.

Yeah sailing can be pretty dangerous when used correctly. I remember in one game I was playing I sailed like 300 troops across a water prov and unexpectedly seiged (and broke the walls) of an enemy's capital in a single turn. Was a major coup. Also, being able to leapfrog provinces along the coast is a treat. Its like a constrained version of flying.

Yep, sailing is often overlooked and that makes it quite deadly when available.
