Do you use any particular methods to dismast ships? I try to fire chain sometimes but I find it just rips boring holes in the sails.
It pretty much most of the time just rips holes in the sails, since to demast them you have to hit the masts at least once, just keep shooting and eventually you'll see their masts falling down and then mysteriously disappearing.
