Heave ho!
How to heave-to?
I know it's here somewhere, but I'm curious how it's done, especially when you need to reef. Backwind the jib and tie the tiller off to windward, right?
Can you heave-to with both sails?
PS. Recently saw a picture of Che on the Monitor Windvane site...

I've found it varies with the wind, sea state and how big a jib.
You may need some drive from the main to get the bow closer to the wind--ease the main and/or tie the tiller to leeward

Thanks CP - I got over my laziness and hit the search and have been reading up on it. I just need to get out there and try it out, now. Not much season left though, haul out is scheduled for October 11.

Silly question at this late date, but can someone tell me the function of the woodwork just to port of the sink in my post #9 http://pearsonariel.org/discussion/s...93&postcount=9? It would be nice if the forward section held the hatch boards, but it's too narrow. I wondered if the taller aft section is for my fire extinguisher - which is attached to the bulkhead. I thought a function would eventually present itself, but not as of yet.
Had some photos of Lucky Dawg taken yesterday afternoon. I had been carrying around a disposable camera for several weeks waiting for an opportune moment to get someone to take some pictures. This guy and his dog were motoring by in a Boston Whaler just as I was hoisting my sails. Flagged him down and as I went to hand him my crappy camera, he whipped out a monster professional camera with a foot-long lens. Said he had just come out to take pictures. I must be living right.
I know she is a pretty girl, but I've never seen her from this perspective.

The tall one: holder for a roll of paper towels?

I've seen a system like that for plates on the left and coffee cups on the right (handles fit in the slot).

Thanks for the thoughts, but too skinny for paper towels, and without coffee or much food consumed onboard... this spot may turn into a hatch-board storage site.
