Okay, so!

I need someone who resembles some kind of competence at using a ship to help figure out how to work some of this stupid thing.

Is this seriously only powered by wind? How can you go in any direction except, you know, getting blown around? That doesn't seem like it'd make for very practical travel.

Well, there's spells to create wind, I guess...

You don't even need to be a sailing expert, it's pretty basic science. The mast and riggings hold up the sails, which catch the wind. Wind from behind the boat pushes it forward, while wind from the sides can be redirected to give the ship forward propulsion.

You just can't sail straight into the wind. Kinda' have to zig zag it to your location.
