The only place you can't sail is directly into the wind. You can go all the other places eventually but it's a lot of back and forth.
Tacking back and forth is kinda the opposite of a straight line though, isn't it?
If you zoom out far enough, the zig zags look like a straight line. Something like a fractal or how they measure coastlines.
All your tacks are straight, they just turn every so often. Over time that adds up to Velocity Made Good.
