I saw the movie Master and Commander and was disappointed. I started off
enjoying it but became annoyed with it before the end. I've recently
finished The Truelove (the 16th?) in the series and am enjoying them
immensely. I'll second the "lacked depth" review.

You referred to spin-offs. To what do you refer? Titles please, or
whatever.

How about Dudley Pope and Alexander Kent?

With all the good sailing yarns out there to read, I just can't get excited
about Patrick O'Brian. I am looking forward to seeing the movie, but mostly just
to see the sailing scenes.

Alas, you may end up disappointed there. It seem to me they shot most of
the sailing scenes on days when there wasn't much wind. Most of the boat
speed seems to come from the engines. There is one storm scene though...
