I would say you have it, use the mainsheet to balance things out.I believe you should be able to heave-to with any headsail
Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Mark G Sent: November 10, 2012 2:33 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Heaving-to After 6 years of experimenting on an infrequent basis I was finally able to easily and repeatedly heave-to my 25 Mk1 this year. I sail with a 135-140% Genoa on a furler. On the day everything clicked it was furled to about 100-110%. Since then, I have made furling the Genoa to 100-110% the first step of heaving-to. It makes sense to me that, since heaving-to is all about balancing the sails, sail area forward would be a significant factor. But on a boat without a furler this can't be accomplished without a sail change, etc. So I'm thinking the same thing might be accomplished by positioning the main sail with the sheet or the traveler. Can anybody weigh in on their experience, particularly with the 25 Mk1? Mark _____ No virus found in this message.
