Sailboats are not limited to moving only in the general direction of the wind. A sailboat can move in an upwind direction at an angle of about 45 degrees off from directly against the wind. If the boat needs to sail to a location directly upwind, then it must zig-zag toward the goal. That's called tacking. The Egyptians and Phonecians were doing this in their early history.
