Heaving to, 1987 Hunter 23 my first time

This is my first time attempting a heave to. It might be a little sloppy but I'm gonna keep working at it.
EDIT: I tried a heave to in higher winds recently and found much improved effects by having the main sail sheeted further out, the genoa less back hauled and the rudder tied as far over as i could get it with seperate line; using a tiller tamer to lock the rudder doesn't allow it to hold at full deflection. It would seem, in this video, that both sails were catching too much wind causing the forward drift. I think the main should luff a little when hove to; it's only there to drive the boat forward and back into the wind if the bow falls off the wind/waves too far. I will update this description as i learn more about heave to's. I do heave to with just the main in bigger waves as well, i do this to drop the Genoa more safely when sailing solo.

If you want to heave to with the bow more into the swell leave the jib sheeted hard and play with the angle of the main.

Useful video...I wonder if a reefed main would make the Hunter 23 track better heaved-to. The wing keel probably isn't an optimum keel to heave-to?

It ended up being I didn't have the rudder all the way to the side; I think I had it to port in the vid?? But a reefed main does sound like I'd be worth a try. The boat does heave-to well, it's sideways drift through the water is a little quick (~1.5kts) and the disturbed water patch is smaller but it does work well. I use a single sail heave-to as well if I need to deal with the front sail; even single sail heave-to works good. All around, worth to learn this stuff. I solo sail so, with no one at the tiller, I had to heave to in conditions where a tiller locker couldn't keep the boat on track. I have since added an autopilot and I rarely need to heave-to to deal with sails, the autopilot and the motor will drive anywhere you want it to.

I had an h23 as my first boat, wish I had a lake to sail her on. She would've been a blast but not so much fun on the Atlantic 🤣 looking forward to more videos!

@CommentRedacted 2 года назад

It's a nice boat and sails well.

@alligatotpies41 2 года назад

It really is! Just watch the lower rudder bracket, when I bought mine it had been leaking for awhile and rotted out the transom.

If you heave to with crew, be sure to get them to move to the windward side just before the jib backwinds. I failed to do this in my Chrysler 22 and my four guests had their backs in the water before they climbed up to the windward side of the boat. The H23 is a really nice little boat. Winged keel?

@CommentRedacted 2 года назад

Yuppers, wing keel. The major reason I wanted to learn, and get good at, heaving to is that I often sail solo and if I end up getting into trouble I want the boat somewhat secure if I have to go forward and deal with the foresail. At least in a heave to, I have a better chance catching the boat if I fall overboard.

I’m looking into an h23 and saw the lady k sailing video from yesterday and noticed a similar comment redacted comment. Funny if that was you.

@CommentRedacted Год назад

Hahah it probably was me. I watch most of "Lady K's" videos.

@CommentRedacted Год назад

Yes that was me who commented yesterday, welcome to my channel. Be sure to check out the video I have for a "solo mast raising jig" for the Hunter 23. Makes solo mast raising a breeze on this boat.

@@CommentRedacted cool. Thanks. Where u from? I’m n Oklahoma

more camera on the sails as you modify, slower panning of the camera please

@CommentRedacted 2 года назад

Will do, give me time to get another video done of it. I was single handed and not 100 percent sure what I was doing.

@brettharman8921 Год назад

heaving to completely contradicts the Bernoulli concept of lift

@CommentRedacted Год назад

Not really, basically you have 4 forces all acting in different directions (depending on the boat). You have the foresail trying to move the boat backwards, the main sail trying to push the boat forwards, the keel trying to hold you in place (as it drags sideways) and the rudder trying to steer the boat. Heaving to is a balancing act; basically stalling everything on the boat to maintain position but still not Bob around in the waves.

is wind flowing over the lee face of the mainsail or jib for that matter?@@CommentRedacted
