It is actually less likely for pirates to get gout because of the lifestyle they were forced to lead. they had to keep fit and certainly did not partake of a constantly rich diet, prerequisites for many gout sufferers.

On the other hand some people have a predisposition to producing a great deal of uric acid any way and end up with gout as a result. So Yes some pirates might also have suffered from gout.
