During the ill fated 1979 Fastnet race, of 300 yachts, 158 chose to adopt storm tactics; 86 'lay ahull', whereby the yacht adopts a 'beam on' attitude to the wind and waves; 46 ran before the wind under bare poles or trailing warps/sea anchors and 26 heaved to. 100 yachts suffered knock downs, 77 rolled at least once. Not one of the hove to yachts were capsized or suffered any serious damage

noted !! I was around the Fastnet (in a small ferry boat mind) a couple of weeks ago and thought about 1979. I was nine years old but I do remember it. I know a gentleman who spent 2 days on an overturned life raft before being rescued when he was 16 years old and participating in that race.

General info for those who don't know: In sailing, heaving to is a way of slowing a sail boat's forward progress, as well as fixing the helm and sail positions so that the boat does not actively have to be steered. It is commonly used for a "break"; this may be to wait for the tide before proceeding, to wait out a strong or contrary wind. For a solo or shorthanded sailor it can provide time to go below deck, to attend to issues elsewhere on the boat, or for example to take a lunch break.

Also, when you first heave to you will still have some forward momentum. You have the let this die off before you can establish the drift final angle and lash the tiller.

I would say ease the main...

Bigmuso..Please go annoy someone else will you??...I don't have time for this... can't you see I post the videos on RU-vid, so I can use them on a forum?? What failed tack?? do you see anyone manning the jib winches??Do you not see the guy aft standing by the helmsman?do you see him do anything??? if the boat was tacking, would that man no be releasing the jib sheets and trimming on the opposite side?? so now you come here and tell me what I was doing?? Go annoy other folks...really

every time I've hove to I have had to ease the main.

@bobv8219 2 года назад

Hi eleven years later, when hoving too , you say , ease the main , is the reason to ease the main as to NOT CATCH the wind in full capacity; thusly blowing the boat over while turning windward?

@wmurnahan 2 года назад

@@bobv8219 The battle is between your foresail that is back filled and your rudder.

@ratusbagus Год назад

So why do you need to ease the main?

@MrTeneric 10 лет назад

Certainly not a failed tack. Would you say that heaving to is moving from a close haul through a tack without setting the jib? This seems to put you in at least the proper attitude of being hove to. Adjusting the sails depends on the boat and weather as characteristics of both differ.

@arbiteroftaste 12 лет назад

I do not think heaving to is the best response to crew overboard. Hoven to, your boat will drift downwind, possible putting the COB at risk of being run over, and possibly missing him/her entirely. Much better, IMO, to sail downwind, gybe, douse the jib, and close reach to the COB.

@susannewilliams 6 лет назад

arbiteroftaste any kind of seas and they are lost from view. Plus much harder to fine tune the speed / momentum / wind / waves when sailing rather than heaving to.

@Mikinct 4 года назад

There must be a wind speed where Hove to doesn't work? 70mph winds 95mph winds 150 mph winds 200+ mph winds There's a point where sails & rigging will let loose & lying ahull is better?

@joestevenson5568 2 года назад

The wind speed where it doesn’t work is one where you wouldn’t have been sailing successfully in the first place. Lying ahull is quite possibly never better as you’re liable to end up dead abeam of the waves. I’d sooner use a sea anchor or run on bare poles.

@Mikinct 2 года назад

@@joestevenson5568 thanks 4 your reply

@ratusbagus Год назад

There's a lot of diversity of opinion around this but.... A sea anchor always seems to me to be a no brainer. It keeps the pointy end into the the forces, it's more aerodynamic and pulls you up or through waves. A bit like being.... well, at anchor.
