Woooow!!! close call...I'm very new at this and thank you for making it clear that when you hove to you must keep the alarm clock on and sleep with 1 eye open at all times...
Good stuff. You did not really explain HOW to heave to, and your comment about letting the tiller go surprises me. I lash my tiller over to the side opposite the jib.
Figured there are enough videos and tutorials out there explaining how to heave to so no need to create another. You have good point about tiller. I lash to side like you and then leave it alone making adjustments with only sails.
nice presentation, simple, i've been sailing for decades and never really seen it explained that cleanly.

So much advice in one vid. Thsnks....im going to learn and use these srrategies.
You can heave to on genoa alone.. I do it often, it makes a calm sheltered place to deal with your mainsail..
A good points mate. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
In a storm when you're hove to, how do you keep your sails from being damaged by the wind?
Not sure if this is correct, but I read that reefing heavily the sails is pretty common. still allows some control.
Very very precious advice on when it is absolutely hove to.
very cool video, thanks for sharing~
How is the Dyneema holding those far ? Do you go with the sk75 regular dynnema or the heat set ?
Excellent, and thank you! I'm going to go practice now.. :)
Nice video!
you seem like a well of knowledge for my book. Trying to write about a Brigantine in the open ocean braving a storm
Good luck with your book.
Seems like there is no storm but then in dead calm seas somewhere you do something stupid and die.
Thanks for sharing your experiences :)
