You Ask They Answer
How can a model sail car go against a headwind?
Can a small model sail car go against a headwind? If so, what is the best shape/orientation of the sail? If that is not possible, what other designs (which are powered by the headwind itself) are capable of traveling against a headwind?
You won't be able to go straight into the wind. You'll have to tack into the wind, just like a sail boat does. I recommend you study up on how a sailboat works, and use those same tactics with your sail car.

Linda Robertson: Amateurs get little taste of Volvo Ocean sailing
What is it like to race around the world on a 70-foot sailboat? Only elite and fearless sailors really know what it is like to evade pirates off the coast of Africa, brave the storms of the Pacific and survive 40-foot waves in the Southern Ocean.The rest of us have to use our imagination. On Friday, I got to race a few miles aboard CAMPER for about 30 minutes. Extrapolate that journey to 39,247 miles and nine months and it might give a vague idea of what this grueling test called the Volvo Ocean Race is all about.
Only a vague idea, though - the same way that reading The Odyssey by Homer provides only a vicarious encounter with Sirens.
No, we did not navigate around icebergs and islands in the dead of night during our brief jaunt. Nor did we eat freeze-dried meals, or sleep in four-hour shifts or wear helmets to avoid getting knocked out by raging torrents of water pouring down the deck.
The Story of Peter on the Stormy Sea
Without question we are living in very uncertain times. It seems that ‘end-time’ bible prophesies are rolling in on us at an accelerating rate. As these changes are gradually overtaking us, people don’t know from one day to the next if they can maintain their normal lifestyle. Many, if not all of the systems which this world offered us yesterday guaranteeing our security and a bright future are now being violently shaken on a global scale. Meanwhile our hope and trust is being put in our most brilliant thinkers who continually press forward for answers, pulling technological wonders out of the hat which seem to keep us just one step ahead of an ever more rapidly encroaching threat of some sort of global disaster. This rising storm is forcing us to make choices like never before; to choose between remaining faithfully obedient to the mission of our Lord Jesus with perhaps greater cost to our personal lives and the natural instinctive urges to turn our full attention to maintaining our own personal well-being, comfortable lifestyle, and ultimately, our very survival. xhausted, Peter clung to the trembling mast where the tattered remnants of the sail whipped about in the violent wind. His hope was quickly fading as an army of waves marched relentlessly across the bow of the handsome boat they had borrowed for the journey. Occasionally, between flashes of lightning, he could catch a glimpse of his eleven companions who, beyond the point of exhaustion, alternately...
