Alex -

Thanks for that video. It's the best description of heaving to that I've seen. I've got a few follow up questions.

In your video it appears that you have the head sail sheeted quite tightly. Is that coincidence due the sailing conditions the day you shot the video, or is that the typical sheeting of the jib when heaving to?

You didn't discuss the main much, but my interpretation is that you leave it trimmed as well. Is that correct? I've typically been releasing my main, which may be the reason for my last question.

Ideally, when hove to, where is the wind coming from? My boat seems to turn a long way away from the wind. She stands up nice and becomes quite steady, but she tends to drift into and away from the wind a bit with the general wind direction from the beam to a little aft of beam.

Thanks again,

Matt
