Another rule help please chaps

A ship plays a veer 5 straight move.
Next turn the wind changes and now the ship is into the wind and has to play the veer 5 red border card ( move ahead slightly)
Next turn still into the wind the ship has to play the second veer 5 red card, which is straight back.
Am I correct in saying the affected ship now will only move straight back each movement until the wind changes?
Here if going straight (veer5) and then into the wind, with no wind change the affected ship can only move backwards from the second turn, this could mean the ship could leave the playing area , backwards if no wind change.
Surely this cannot be correct?
