Diagram Of Sailboat Part Names Physics Help Please. No Idea How To Work This One?

Physics help please. no idea how to work this one? - diagram of sailboat part names

The force exerted by the wind in the sails of a sailboat in the North, 390 N. The water exerts a force of 180 N, 12.3 degrees south of east. When the ship) (including crew has a mass of 270 kg, is what the magnitude and direction of acceleration?

So my teacher told me that ...
"For this problem, have only a free-body diagram shows the horizontal forces, so that only
draw a plan view of the boat. Do not worry about the vertical forces such as gravity
and the normal force.

The ATE is the boat. Draw a straight upward force with 390 Newtons. Drawing is another, 180 Newton, located 12.3 degrees below the x-axis on the right side. The sum of these forces can be done with trigonometry.

The final resultant vector has a size in Newton. The resultant force by the mass of the equipment can be divided to produce its acceleration. Since Force = Mass * Acceleration
