Back in the day when I played it on the commodore 64 for a bazillion hours, getting good at the dueling was key. I would use some small, fast and maneuverable like a sloop to move around and blast them. Then once boarding try and take down the captain quick.

Not sure if it works as well/easily with the remastered/newer versions.

I think that was the best overall strategy. You only needed a big, heavy warship to sink pirate hunting warships and, even then, you could just run with the smaller, faster ship. Using a big ship to pound the targets would result in sinking rather than looting.
