Heaving to is pretty easy to practice. Tack but don't let the jib
sheet go. On the new tack turn the wheel to windward. The rudder
is trying to head you up and the backwinded jib is doing the
opposite, so the boat kind of just sits there. Useful for making
lunch or taking a dump if you have no autopilot. I have never
tried it in really bad weather though.

Hi Andy- I have never been in a situation where I feel the need
to heave to, but I feel like I want to practice it in less than
extreme conditions next summer. Can you describe the details of
getting into this state and staying there? What I have read
sounds simple, but I doubt anything is simple in high winds and 12
foot seas and that detail devil is always lurking nearby. Thanks-
Dave

I once took a Swan 651 to weather in 12 foot seas. It wasn't
comfortable, either. I think you'd need a pretty big boat...
Usually, if I have 12 foot seas on the nose (and I'm not racing),
I'm hove to, relaxing and waiting for the wind to shift, while I
have a cuppa tea under the dodger, watching the scenery roll by.
Life at sea doesn't have to be an overly (physically) strenuous
endeavor.
