Fortunately there are some shortcut commands up on the steering deck, including everyone man the guns (or everyone man the sails, or everyone go to the galley and eat, iirc.)

The three bells are: man the guns, man the sails, and stop all orders (which has your men default to sleep if it's night).

I'm getting the hang of it now.  I finally gained a rank - to Commodore - just now, and that granted me a bigger ship which really helps.  You get more of everything: cannons, cargo space, crew space.  You also get to train marines, which opens up a whole new area of the game: capturing ports and cities, and even building your own.

However by the time I'd made Commodore the AI player had almost won the game.  I really don't know how it's possible to win, given that you spend so much time in the first ship avoiding combat and carefully trying to train up your crew and accrue some gold.
