My advice is that if you have to heave, you should heave to leeward. It keeps
the clothes cleaner

Listers,> > I sincerely agree with Connie, every sailor should have the skill
to heave-to in the boat they are sailing. I find it surprising that when I'm
out with other sailors on their craft, many do not have that knowledge and have
never even tried the procedure.> On my M17 and M23, I find that both will
heave-to rather easily, however, I have never been able to create the
protective "slick" area that the Pardey's and other big water sailors speak of.
The boats seem to still want to make a bit of forward progress, less than a
knot.> > I have also heard some boats are very reluctant to heave-to, aka the
