Alright, this is the situation.

I was sailing way out past Monhegan island recently and it was night, quiet, gentle swell rolling...
I wanted to take a nap. I sail alone. So I figured out a way to heave to sailing downwind, in the general direction. I let out the main and rigged a preventer. I sheeted in the genoa on the opposite tack. The wind was broad reach. Tiller tied in the center. The boat found it's balance and sailed slow and easy for hours. The main and the backwards genny making a sort of triangle, finding equilibrium between them.
It worked. Does anyone have any other ideas. My boat is a 30' double ender.
