Are you an experienced sailor and planning to explain what you mean by this?
As far as I know, sailing into the wind (at least directly into a headwind) is definately not the fastest... surely sailing into the wind would essentially cause a "stall" (or whatever the technical term may be)
For modern sails (that are tacked) I would think the fastest way to travel is diagonally away from the wind... wheras old straight shaped sails like a galley the fastest way would probably be to travel with the wind directly.
