What ship with triangular sails and a steering rudder that could be sailed into the wind?

No boat can sail directly into the wind of course, but some can come closer to it than others. Any boat for fore-and-aft rigging can sail reasonably well close to the wind -- far better than square-riggers. Sloops in particular (fore-and-aft rigged with a mainsail and foresail or headsail) can get up as high as 38 degrees or so -- or even slightly higher. Cutters, two-master boats, and catboats don't do quite as well.
