The only way I can think that this would be possible is if the wind was blowing directly onshore?
Edit: thanks for all the well thought out replies. I think I’ve got it figured out know, I’ve always Been a bit confused about ships tacking into to wind and I think the key thing I was missing was the sail being using like as an airfoil creating pull, used in tandem with with the fins/keel .

Sooo…no one here got blown into open ocean when windsurfing during offshore winds and can’t get back to shore when the wind suddenly started gusting and you didn’t wear your harness? No one?
