A sailing boat can not sail directly upwind, sail at about 45 degrees to the wind and tack (turn the boat through the wind) to the other side of the wind and continue in this zig-zag manner up wind.
The wind hitting the sail at an angle upwind pushes it sideways which is why you zigzag. Downwind wind hit sail straight on
A sail boat or yacht.
On upwind legs, the jib serves to direct the air around the leeward side of the mainsail to reduce pressure on that side, causing forward propulsion in accordance with Bernoulli's Principle. On downwind legs, it serves more like a mainsail, providing additional surface area to drive the boat. This is true of any jib sail on any boat.

The triangular jib sail on a sailboat acts as a foresail that helps to harness wind power, contributing to the boat's propulsion. It is typically set in front of the mainsail and aids in improving the vessel's overall speed and maneuverability. By channeling the wind, the jib allows the boat to sail more efficiently, especially when tacking or sailing upwind. Additionally, it provides stability to the sailboat by balancing the forces acting on the sails.
