Yeah I've done some sailing and get tacking upwind. Just keeping it simple for the metaphor since you still can't sail with no wind and direction constrains your path etc.

How do we translate tacking into the allegory? If the sail is attitude, maybe it means strategic, selective procrastination via accomplishing side tasks, to make slow oblique progress?

It's also an allegory for intelligence, since more advanced boats handled with more skill can sail closer to the wind

I’m a sailboat who can be easily mistaken for a powerboat and who is married to a powerboat who has been frequently mistaken for a sailboat.
