I've done this with a single corvette and taken out multiple fleets with like 2-3 1st rates in them. This also works with the story missions with the red pulsing skull. 5 minutes tops to defeat a town and get a ransom. They'll run into it and die instantly, and I've taken over 10 towns super easy with this. If you already have the captain skill to throw kegs overboard, you can kill ships super easy by speeding ahead of them, dropping some of the kegs in a cluster, and then leading the ships into the cluster as they cannot see the barrels. The best part about this method is that you don't need any cannonballs. Problem is that have no idea where to buy it, looked at the discussion and searched several sites. Do this until you can get a corvette, which is super manuverable and fast(if you upgrade the sails.) continue trading with your ship and upgrading it as much as possible until it is fully upgraded with boarding hooks, guns, ram, stuff like that. I am at the beginning of of the game, have three nice schooners, dug up a treasure, defeated two pirates (game events) and now the task to do is to go north and buy the map of Puerto Rico. So, basically, you can buy cheap goods and sell them for expensive where their icon is red.
