I'm not sure about this one myself. If it does mean "tack against the wind", that doesn't seem like something that is obvious from 搶風 and 航行, because it's a maneuver that involves sailing in a zig-zag path (tacking), not merely "advancing into a headwind". In that case, it couldn't be called a mere construct.

Also, I note that our definition of 搶風 is "headwind; contrary wind", while in NA it's defined as a verb phrase "to go against the wind; to brave the wind".

Anyway, I'll just paste in a couple of examples I found, for future reference:

这并不是最好的开始,但结果却是相当漂亮,因为在我面前的大部分家伙为了更好的视野和更好的航道抢风航行到左边。我从右侧抢风航行穿过大部队,抢的早 ...
