It still happens to the best of us…

Thanks! ⛵️

Thank you! ⛵️

Sorry, I can not answer that question because englisch is not my first language.

Thanks! Glad I could help you to understand! ⛵️

Thanks for watching!

Sorry to hear That! It does not work with every boat! Construction of hulls Andy keels are different!

Thank you for your feedback!

I kept trying it your way and came up w/ at least 2 versions, including one that was correct. Embarrassingly, I guess it's all in how you dress it. @@captainsailnator

Thanks for the kind words! Feel free to share the videos with your customers! Thank you very much!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! 👍

With a Genoa you Tack the same as with a jib: How to Tack with a sailboat: ruclips.net/video/Aw_CqEDSXlw/видео.html If you mean Genacker (Big downwind sail) you have to jibe and it works different from boat to boat. Find Someone who can Show you!

Thanks!

Thank you so much Hussein!

Thank you Storm Mars!

Thanks for watching Mario!

If you want to heave to for a longer period of time or of you want to weather a storm it might be better.

When I started sailing I could not afford it too. So I cleaned boats and helping out at the Dock of a sailing School/Club and instead getting payed they teached me how to sail. After a while I could teach myself and for that I was alllowed to sail by myself in the evening. Then I started as a deckhand on a Yacht. And so on. Just as an inspiration . (I do not earn More Money with the colored Version of the book. Even less. The Print is just very expensive.)

You can buy an RC sailboat.

Thank you Ed Itor!

This is a video for beginners on a dinghi and there it works fine. In my experience the main stays actually quite stabile. On a Yacht I would take the Main sail down if I wanted to heave to for a longer period of time. I can not tell you how Skip Nowak is balancing the rudder out with the windpressure in the main. He is a real Pro and far far far more experienced than me. And as he says: Some boats heave to and some don‘t. You have to try out what works best for you 😉

Sorry Guy, unfortunately I am not an expert for trimming sails.

One end has to be free. The other end can be attached to something, for example to a fender (witch is represented here by the figure eight knot)

@@captainsailnator thank you very much. may the winds be in your favor. Just a note, witch is incorrect - write which

That is another way to heave to and I recommend to try to do so on a yacht, especially in heavy weather. Problem: winshing a big jib on closehauled to the orher side without turning the bow through the wind can be very challenging. You can try to turn the bow towards the wind till the jib flatters and then winch it to the other side. If that does not work do it like shown here. Search for: „Skip Novak - Heaving to“ on RUclips. He shows how it works the way you suggested it.

@@captainsailnator Thanks, I should mentioned heavy weather conditions

Thank you Zoltan!

I really love to hear that you like my Book! Hope you could convince your sailing Partners how to heave to ;-)

Trank you Emma!

Thanks for watching Maurice!

Hi Michel, that's a good point! Thank you! The centreboard can be retracted on downwind an even on broad reach, because there is no drift. It creates unnecessary resistance on these points of sail.

@@captainsailnator Yes Captain! And I also think that a retracted centreboard can make an accidental jibe less a dramatical thing! :-)

Just turn the Bow into the Wind and do it like i showed it in the Video. sometimes You have to Paddel to a different Place Where you can do That. Eastwind: Fix the bow at the tip of the jetty so That the bow turns East. Westwind: Paddel to a Post or a buoy With enough Space backwards. If Not possible ask the Locals how they do it ;-)

Maybe he appears in the next video ;-)

Hi Mike, you can use only the jib and drop the mainsail very well. (I guess that is what you ment and not the other way round, because I think the jib is essential for heaving to) Especially, when you heave to for a longer time, for example in a storm. I don't know if the angle is shallower then, but I think it is better for the sail, and the boom is not swinging around. I would prefer to do so, especially on a yacht. Hope that helps.

@@captainsailnator no other way round according to the video I watched. Drop jib and use mainsail. Apparently using both brings the boat to far around on the beam towards the wind and sea. I'm going to test it out this weekend.

I can not imagine how this should work. How do you keep the Main on the windward side? But I am always happy to learn something new, so please keep me updated about what happend when you testet it. Do you have a link to the video you watched or any other source? Thanks! If it doesn't work listen to the words of my hero Skip Nowak: Some boats heave to very well and some boats don't heave to at all: ruclips.net/video/uQTOfns6OjU/видео.html

@@captainsailnator Hi. The main is kept on the leeward side, sheeted in as normal (and reefed if in a storm, or replaced with a storm trysail). The jib is dropped. If the wind on the bow causes the bow to fall off, the main will begin to power up, then the aft centre of effort of the main together with the rudder will turn the boat back to windward, where it will again loose drive. In this way, the boat is constantly kept on the edge of being in irons. I believe the video Mike is referring to is the Storm Survival Tactics video by the Maryland school. They argue that a backed headsail is only necessary on gaff-rigged sailboats, because, on those boats, the centre of effort of the main is so far aft.

@@captainsailnator your video on how to heave-to is excellent. Thank you for sharing. Ps. I also follow Skip Novak! 🙂
