When I PLAY a pirate, however, I generally create him with the ranger class. Why? Because when I play a pirate, I like to dual wield a sword & dirk (or a sword & flintlock, if they're available). The ranger's inability to wear heavy armor is just fine, too. Plus, he typically gets the right skills for the job (in 3e, for example, he got Climb, Intuit Direction, Knowledge: Nature, Profession: Sailor, Swim, Use Rope, and Wilderness Lore, which are all useful on the open see).
Although favored enemy isn't necessary to the concept, choosing an aquatic favored enemy did assume a certain oceanic history for the character. Similarly, spells weren't absolutely necessary, but in a magical world, spells like resist elements, protection from elements, water walk all came in handy, while spells like animal friendship, summon nature's ally, animal messenger could be used to for very piratey toucans or parrots.
Tracks was the only ability that was rally out of place, so I would usually ask the DM if I could trade it out for something more appropriate (even something like skill focus in profession: sailor). Barring that, I just tied it to the character's life before becoming a pirate.
