With my War Galleon I find the best close combat tactic to get in front of the enemy ship, and as it 'attempts' to turn to broadside you, you keep sailing in front of it (in a circle more or less). This keeps your broadsides on the enemy, and his broadsides pointed away. An occasional "full sail" to push you further in front if you fall back helps.
I've used "reverse" from day 1, as a ship weve drawn comes into us, it starts to turn, if im not facing the direction he turns... i use reverse to stay in front longer before spinning around with come about.
