I have watched many explanations of how to heave to, and this is by far the easiest to understand and follow, thank you.
Thank you! ⛵️
Like all videos in your series, this one is also excellent. So easy to visualise and understand. Uncluttered and to the point. Thank you for taking the time to make these video's. They are invaluable for either those that believe they know, but need to "brush up on technique", or those that are just learning.
Thanks for watching and the kind words John!
Thanks well explained , I've just spent half hour watching saikibg vids on heave to but yours is only thorough explanation 👍 🙂
Thanks for watching!
I've watched a few videos on this topic, this was far the best! Thank you!!
Thank you Zoltan!
Thank you Captain! Although you say this is a supplement video only for sailing, I think if these supplements don't exist we wouldn't be able to understand sailing books. Your videos are very valuable!
Thank you Ruki!
Good-hearted captain 👍 love the simplicity of demonstration of all the techniques 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Excellent instruction !
Thanks! ⛵️
Thank you Captain Sailnator ! First good explanation I have found on YT.
Thanks for watching Ronald!
Coolvideo. I like the slight simulated wind :)
Thanks Debtwarrior!
I've just stumbled across these! Wow I'll have so much fun watching them all.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, this video worked for me. The model and showing all the component details helped me to understand it. I saw the term "heave to" on a television show and wanted to know what it meant. I read several definitions and did not understand what they were saying. I watched another video and I was still confused. This video made it completely clear to me and I even understood why it can be tricky to implement.
Thanks! Glad I could help you to understand! ⛵️
What a wonderful explanation!
Thanks trackie!
love your book...i take your book with me in a water tight bag when we sail...Today I am going to show my sailing partners how to Heave 2 using your book as my Authority...(in case I experience Disagreement) (:
I really love to hear that you like my Book! Hope you could convince your sailing Partners how to heave to ;-)
Great, I bought the book, looks great as well. Congratulations
Thank you so much Hussein!
Are you leaving the main sheet completely slack? If so, then won’t the boom constantly flap around in any kind of seas or gusts? I think Skip Novak sheets the main so that it works with the rudder to balance out the bow going to leeward.
This is a video for beginners on a dinghi and there it works fine. In my experience the main stays actually quite stabile. On a Yacht I would take the Main sail down if I wanted to heave to for a longer period of time. I can not tell you how Skip Nowak is balancing the rudder out with the windpressure in the main. He is a real Pro and far far far more experienced than me. And as he says: Some boats heave to and some don‘t. You have to try out what works best for you 😉
I was waiting for Mr Bill
Maybe he appears in the next video ;-)
Thanks for explaining this but At 1:25, would it not be better just to pull down the main sheet?
If you want to heave to for a longer period of time or of you want to weather a storm it might be better.
I’ve been reading instructions that says with a sloop rig it is best to heave to using only the mainsail and dropping the jib. This way the boat is at a shallower angle to the wing rather than right angles . What is your take on this.
Hi Mike, you can use only the jib and drop the mainsail very well. (I guess that is what you ment and not the other way round, because I think the jib is essential for heaving to) Especially, when you heave to for a longer time, for example in a storm. I don't know if the angle is shallower then, but I think it is better for the sail, and the boom is not swinging around. I would prefer to do so, especially on a yacht. Hope that helps.
@@captainsailnator no other way round according to the video I watched. Drop jib and use mainsail. Apparently using both brings the boat to far around on the beam towards the wind and sea. I'm going to test it out this weekend.
I can not imagine how this should work. How do you keep the Main on the windward side? But I am always happy to learn something new, so please keep me updated about what happend when you testet it. Do you have a link to the video you watched or any other source? Thanks! If it doesn't work listen to the words of my hero Skip Nowak: Some boats heave to very well and some boats don't heave to at all: ua-cam.com/video/uQTOfns6OjU/v-deo.html
@@captainsailnator Hi. The main is kept on the leeward side, sheeted in as normal (and reefed if in a storm, or replaced with a storm trysail). The jib is dropped. If the wind on the bow causes the bow to fall off, the main will begin to power up, then the aft centre of effort of the main together with the rudder will turn the boat back to windward, where it will again loose drive. In this way, the boat is constantly kept on the edge of being in irons. I believe the video Mike is referring to is the Storm Survival Tactics video by the Maryland school. They argue that a backed headsail is only necessary on gaff-rigged sailboats, because, on those boats, the centre of effort of the main is so far aft.
@@captainsailnator your video on how to heave-to is excellent. Thank you for sharing.
Ps. I also follow Skip Novak! 🙂
How about not putting the bow through the wind but winching the jib when on closehauld to the opposite side, releasing the main and turning the ruder to windward?
That is another way to heave to and I recommend to try to do so on a yacht, especially in heavy weather. Problem: winshing a big jib on closehauled to the orher side without turning the bow through the wind can be very challenging. You can try to turn the bow towards the wind till the jib flatters and then winch it to the other side. If that does not work do it like shown here. Search for: „Skip Novak - Heaving to“ on UA-cam. He shows how it works the way you suggested it.
@@captainsailnator Thanks, I should mentioned heavy weather conditions
I have trouble with this maneuver in my Catalina 27 fin keel. 🤷
Sorry to hear That! It does not work with every boat! Construction of hulls Andy keels are different!
My boat has a selftaking jib 😎
Very convinient, but not so good for heaving to :)
i think you could rig a pin into the selftacking jib rail. maybe drill a hole into the rail at both ends so that you could put a pin in the rail as a preventer keeping the cartridge from tacking over to the other side. i.e.: your on port tack and put a pin in the rail at the starboard side starboard and then heave to on the starboard tack side with the jib staying over on the starboard side. just an idea.
I have watched about twenty heave to vids......these people can sail ,but they cannot show a decent heave to video for nuts,,,,,teachers they are not,,,,,even skip novak for gods sake.
