      If there’s no wind, you can use the windmill to make wind. Windy pushes sails, boat go forward.

        I don’t think so - Making the wind with the windmill would push the boat one way, then the wind hitting the sail would push it the opposite way, so it wouldn’t move. In fact it wouldn’t be 100% efficient so the windmill would move the boat slightly more.
