Patch 1.4

[Slaists]

That's standard AI suicide squad tactics. I had a galleon being boarded by a Dhow crewed by 7 men once, making it a sitting duck for the 3 or so other enemy ships. I lost before the Dhow crew made it aboard my galleon.

Yup, that's a very typical AI behavior (boarding SOL's with galleys, dhows & like), but I yet have to lose a ship that way. I guess, I was not surrounded.
