I read this sentence in a book but didn't understand meaning of ( the sourse you have set )
the sentence is : when casting off in a small sailboat , it is best to ride out with no outside thoughts , concentrating only on the wind , the water , and the course you have set .

I will try to answer in a clear precise way. For starters I will compare this to life, there is a course or a goal that you should set for various things in your life. With every goal there should be a plan for action for what it may take in order for you to get there. This is symbolic of the course that you have set. In this instance think of planning to sail to Hawaii within a certain length of time. This means that you have set a course with the route that will provide you the best results. It basically is a thought out plan ahead of time prior to your journey.

"setting a course" is a nautical idiom that means picking a direction; it can mean a literal direction, or it can mean a solution to a problem as opposed to other possible solutions.

Literally, the direction of the compass in which you are sailing. E.g. west, north-east, etc.
