Rusty, I haven't had any problems with Storm Petrel. From a beat with the jib sheeted tight, just bring her through the wind, free the main and shove the tiller down. I don't usually lock or tie it there, unless it's really blowing.
Maybe you just need to believe it will work. Just believe!

I have had similar difficulties heaving to. I just couldn't get the boat to stop! I guess when you get a Monty going, she wants to go! I was just messing around at the time so I wasn't worried but I was a bit surprised. I have hove to in a variety of boats with no problems, I just thought it was the small size of a 15 footer. So, there are M-15 sailers out there who have put there boat hove to with no problems? -Rusty ===== "In a power boat you may get there faster, but in a sailboat you are already there." __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
