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
Years ago I had an offshore sailing program called Adventure Sailing that

I never had luck or need to be hove-to myself till last spring when a
broken fuel gage left us without engine propulsion. The Chesapeake was
pretty rough by bay standards. High frequency 6-10 foot breakers and
20-25kts wind. We had been running up the shore and, given time, would
