Just be aware that not all boats heave-to as well as others.
IIRC, the boats with a full-keel tend to heave-to a bit better than newer designs. The newer designs tend to fore-reach, rather than come to a near-complete stop as the older designs do.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
