This is a bernoulli issue. As the wind pushed the ship, more thrust was required to keep it straight. Any change in wind could be a disaster. Because...
Getting close to one side increases the speed of the water, reducing pressure, which can pull the ship towards the shore. Closer to shore, more pull until disaster.
