Sailboat's need (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wind

(Other definitions for wind that I've seen before include "Twist or turn (in course)" , "Curl; knock breath out of" , "Coil; breeze" , "trade, for example" , "take course that's not straightforward? Doesn't sound like it" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
