I’m sure the answer will be obvious, but would have guessed sinking would have been beneficial over just destroying a ships sailing ability. At least from what I’ve been able to find.

The goal wasn’t to sink the ship, but rather to incapacitate it and demoralize the crew so that they would give up, allowing you to capture the ship and any cargo. Also, it was much more common for the crew to simply give up and change sides if they weren’t officers, so if you could get them feeling hopeless and beaten, they might just join you and voila, new, experienced sailors!
