Thanks for your help guys!
Okay, it's do-able BUT in a light sloop it's VERY difficult and takes a long time.

You can do the chase and run as described below. Or, if you can get in right behind them, you can rock the ship side to side and alternate broadsides into the ship's rear.

I've taken out warships in a light sloop this way. I REALLY don't recommend trying it unless you're really desperate or have a really big brass pair (and I'm not talking treasure). Needless to say, one screwup and you're swimming home.
