I believe that it's just a straight nautical tie between Skipper's -- the chief of boats -- and the fact the manager is chief of the team.
The Team itself can be considered his boat.... I don't know if there was a specific incident that led to the popularizeing of Skipepr being used to term a manager, but the comparison between Captains of boats and Managers of teams shoudl be pretty clear.
