  • The manouver is called "Heaving To" .

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

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

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

  • failed tack, for sure.

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

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

  • no, that's the point....
