Sailing into the wind is when your sailing upwind.

-quote-

"This is a sailing technique where you sail into the wind. Begin by sheeting in to the wind by steering the nose of the boat into the direction of the wind. The sails will start to luff and you'll need to sheet them in until they're taut. Reduce your heel so that your boat doesn't lean on one side. Start beating or tracking from side to side."
