I agree with Dwight. You should be able to heave to with any
headsail, because conditions may require it.
That said, I prefer not to have my headsail backing against the
spreaders, so I prefer rolling up to no more than a 110 or so before
heaving to.
Cheers

On my 24 I need to reduce the headsail to a handkerchief.
Otherwise main and tiller are not able to keep it balanced.
I think it's because my boat is not heavy and freeboard helps pushing the
bow down.

Fred,
We all know you live in the frozen tundra. And as a former citizen of North
Dakota (where Mother Nature is out to kill your butt) I can sympathize with
any excuse to go someplace warm.
Some years ago I sailed with a co-worker on his boat (and Erickson Princess,
I think) in the Apostl
My dad taught me how to heave to on our 1971 C&C 27. As Rick says, it's great
for socializing in any amount of air.
We hove to for a couple of hours one year in fairly light airs halfway between
Bermuda and St Martin so we could eat Thanksgiving dinner, on many other
occasions, a reefed main or
The point is to not have any flow around the headsail, which in my
experience is always backwinded.
The backed headsail pushes the bow down until the main develops thrust and
moves the boat forward, then the rudder pushes the bow back up until the
boat stalls out and the backed headsail pushes
I heave-to with Belle fairly frequently to socialize, eat lunch, sunbathe, etc.
She has a 155 headsail most of the time, and occasionally in higher winds a 110

To heave-to on starboard tack I start on port and sheet in the genoa tight as I
turn into the wind. Boom is close to the ce

Mark;
The A&H hatch on my 38 has a different style of hold down than the hatch on my
25 mk1. The 38 has knobs on the outside of the lens and handles inside to dog
sown the hatch. The 25 has an arrangement with a threaded knob on a threaded
shaft that tightens against a “fork” that is cast in

Hi Mark,
I'm no expert but it would seem to me you need a fairly small head-sail to
get most any boat to heave to properly as the head-sail is normally
backwinded as part of heaving to. Back-winding a sail much bigger than a
100% would put it hard on the spreaders which isn't going to be good for
Dwight,
The high number I quote pertains only to cruisers who make passages or
who stay aboard for a long period of time.
With regard to folks who do weekends aboard or a 2 week coastwise
cruise - I'm sure many of them still do the bottled thing - but as you
point out - it's easy to do that when
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

I may take on the same project on my '73 25 Mk1 next spring. According to A&H
what I have is the "old style" XR200, which is a 20" square hatch. My existing
hatch doesn't leak, not under the frame, not under the acrylic But the acrylic
is badly crazed and the latches (threaded knobs)
Rick asks an excellent question: Why pull the hatch just to replace the lens?
It's a very easy job and can be done in place on the boat, or simply pull the
hinge pin(s), without removing the frame.

Imzadi had the original 27” square A&H hatch on the foredeck. I Had bought a
used hatch some time ago, and planned to refurb that hatch and install it on
the existing frame (which did not leak).
So my first question is why pull the frame if it isn’t leaking and you are
planning to refurbish/

West sells it. Something like Un5200.

I am, however, surprised with such a high number. Nonetheless, I think that
