You can kind of do that all ready. Rotate your camera view to align with your sail for a wide field of view and navigate by the minimap

I do navigate with help of minimap already. What if you sail with wind blowing into your back, then you look to the side the entire time?

Yes. Every once in a while I'll rotate the view by 90 degrees to check the other side of the boat.
