Question

how can you use wind energy to make boat Sail against the direction of wind

Answer 1

You'd need the wind to back you up because all you had were really large parachutes strung up on deck. However, these light sailboats don't use parachutes, they use airfoils.

Look at a modern sail from above and you'll see the classic airfoil shape, a curled teardrop. This means that the sail can be manipulated to produce “lift” in various directions depending on how air flows around it. Now since the sail is upright, “lift” translates to a lateral motion that can push the boat faster than the wind or even against the wind.

Answer 2

Sail boats routinely sail diagonally into the wind with a significant component of their direction upwind, i.e. “against the direction of the wind”.

sailing against the wind has a very good explanation of the forces involved. The key concept here is that a sailboat is a system of two wings: the sail which is a wing operating on the air and the keel which is a wing operating on the water.
The sailboat extracts energy from the wind by slowing the wind’s speed relative to the water. It uses that energy to overcome drag and to accelerate the boat.

As long as the system can take energy out of the relative speed difference between the air and the water, it can use that energy anyway it wants to go in any direction it wants.

Rick Cavallaro’s Blackbird ground racing cart sailed directly downwind 2.7 times as fast as the wind.
