I was told that this phrase refers to the old practice of sailors, away at sea for long periods & somewhat sexually frustrated, copulating with the skate fish, which has a genital arangement rather like a womans.....

No, ten out of ten for inventiveness, but that's wrong.

It just means go fast, as you would when wearing skates.
