While sailboats can sail upwind, they cannot sail directly into the wind. Presuming you want to sail to a point (perhaps a dock) directly upwind from you, instead you must sail a 'zig-zag' course to get there.
In this short video, we will learn how to get to a target that is directly upwind.
In MarineVerse Cup - you can complete this and other sailing lessons in virtual reality.
