I suppose some easy tips to follow are try to keep the wind on your back as much as possible, if your going to board, load up on grape shot and fire a volley or two so you have a better chance of taking the ship. You could also try using chain shot and slowing a ship down or maybe knocking a mast down, once you do that you can move on to another ship if there are any since the one without the mast won't be going anywhere, just stay outside of it's range. Or if there aren't any other ships and you just want to sink it (the demasted ship), move your ship to the stern or bow of the enemy ship, anchor and fire away, you'll take little or no damage that way.
