Same as a sailboat.
Can go much faster than the wind.


Actually, sailing is different because of the interaction of the keel and the
water. You can't go faster than hull speed, but ignoring that you could
theoretically go faster than the wind, if you were going at 90 degrees to it.
You can even sail INTO the wind.

You can't, however, run before the wind faster than the wind (unless you have
one humongus current)
