I realize a sailboat can’t go directly at the wind (or maybe it can🤷🏽♂️) but for the life of me I can’t picture it going anywhere but where the wind is bowing.
Also, lets say you were in a round pond, could you sail to any point you wanted to in the pond with the wind blowing steady in one direction?

Imagine a watermelon seed between your fingers. You pinch it, and it shoots forward.
A sailboat is pinched by the wind and the water and shoots forward. The wind pinches one side on the sails. The water pinches the other side on the bottom of the boat.
