When sailing you should always check the Five Essentials.
Boat balance - If a yacht is allowed to heel away from the wind, it will tend to turn into the wind or luff up. If you allow the boat to heel towars the wind, it will bear away. In either ease some rudder movement will be needed to keep it on course, which will slow the boat down. Turn the boat using the wheel to the desired course to steer.
