Heaving to under sail

Heaving to was once an everyday procedure for sailing craft. It has fallen out of fashion for a number of reasons. This video describes how my crew and I hove to in a serious storm, then goes on to look at the benefits of the technique, discussing how its effectiveness varies from boat to boat.

If you’re interested in sailing, things maritime and the salty road to freedom, you'll enjoy my channel, so pour yourself a glass of the finest and settle down with my personal mixture of yarns and useful instructional material.
When I’m away cruising, I never know when I'll get the opportunity to upload. If you can't wait, why not become a member of my website club? You'll find lots of members-only videos and articles, not available elsewhere, and have a chance to join in a regular online forum.
