One of the best "how to" instructions for heaving to that I have ever read. All that is missing is a few simple illustrations showing the positions of the wind, bow, foresail, main, tiller and rudder, but you can just close your eyes and visualize those. Thanks Howard, and thanks SCA.
As a sailing instructor, we at our school teach heaving to and prove its effectiveness. Also note that if heaving to on a starboard tack gives you right of way.

Salient Comments!! Nice to have a “Time Out Option” when conditions get “Sporting!!”

If you want an illustrated chapter about this, go to Cunliffe's "Hand, Reff and Steer."
