First time I'm seeing this concept myself and it's intriguing at first sight! (will obviously have to do some scrutiny before drawing conclusions though).
It's evoking memories of Omashu & factorio-like games :)
I didn't know anything about sailing, but your one comment made me search up point of sail and now you've opened my eyes to something that was a mystery to me for all my life -- how sailboats can "course made good" against the wind. Thank you.. this stuff is amazing, and sailing is an incredible science!
