Sounds dangerous to me too.
Heaving to by definition means stopping the boat. Fore reaching at less than 0.25 kts is about it but if you can get the yacht to stop and drift sideways, then you are hove to.
Technically the vessel is not under command as per the colregs.
You also mention that the vessel sailed like this for hours.... were you asleep for hours, at sea, in costal waters???
