Heaving to at high speed.

[SpacedOdyssey]

The manouver is called "Heaving To" .

Once the boat is under control, it is said to be " Hove To"

[squashballferg]

in dinghy sailing hove to would involve depowering the main to avoid capsizing, is this not required in a yacht and why?

Bigmuso..Please go annoy someone else will you??...I don't have time for this...

can't you see I post the videos on Youtube, 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

@ppconsultant Hey buddy, stop posting videos on YouTube. You are confusing the poor people that don't know how to sail :)

[wmurnahan]

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

[thechules]

There's no point on easing the main. it's just right.

[cheezyroad]

no, that's the point....

[tetedepoulet]

I would say ease the main...
