Sail ship simulation

Hello everyone.
I'm trying in vain to get a boat to be blown by the wind, on an ocean.
The scene is a top view affair, but i just can't get this boat moving properly.
Any ideas?

You might want to provide a few more details. Do you want the ship to move in a straight line or wobble? Do you want it to move at a set speed or variably? Is it moving in one general direction or randomly? Is it controlled by the player?

No problem
The boats rotation is controlled by the player but the acceleration of the boat should be dictated by the wind.
This is complicated by the fact that boats can tak into the wind, by turning their sails to the side..
