Answer:

1000 m NW of its original position

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sailboat makes a right turn after drifting 600 m west, it'll be going north then.

Its distance from its starting point can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem:

d = √( 600² + 800² ) = √1000² = 1000

The sailboat will end up 1000 m from its original position.
