Press '9' to prepare crew for boarding. Force the AI upwind by cutting him off and hard turning in to wind, or by ramming him to turn his bow or stern. Once your relative speed is below 3.5 knots you will get a prompt to board him.

- select attack
- just before timer expires change to deck guns (or musket volley)
- stay braced until preparation is again around 70, then repeat
- once enemy moral is fairly low select brace then attack at last minute

The principle is to force the AI to 'defend' in response to your feigned attack, which gives you bonuses to your deck guns and musket volleys. Then force the AI to do anything but defend when you actually 'attack'.

You have a detailed explanation in the Naval Action User Guide (please refer to the Guide section of this forum).
Also a step by step video is present here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mrP0nIWP-zw&t=703s
