Offhand, I had two thoughts about why the war sloop might have proved less effective than expected. First, you may be altering course too frequently and not allowing enough straight-line travel to pick up full speed. Secondly, and more specifically, when you are "hitting & running" you may be getting closer than you should given your particular Tacking level. I currently have 4/5 Tacking, so I can get extremely close and still turn away in front of an enemy vessel; as long as you steer clear of frigates you should be able to consistently avoid damage. I also tend to use my Cannon skill in support of my Sailing (read that Broadsides).
