Well, in sailing the direction of the wind doesn't 100% decide the course of your boat. That's why you have sails that rotate.

And a rudder. Together with the keel it determines where your boat goes, if you want even against the wind.

All the wind really does is provide power, it's up to you to decide how you want to use that power.
