[Alberg30] heaving to on the main only

[vinegar joe]

"storm tactics handbook" by lin and larry pardey discusses heaving to at length.  they never use a headsail when doing so in heavy weather situations.  they advise to heave to with a main sail (triple reefed) or trysail with a sea anchor and let it blow, let it blow, let it blow.   vj

do it? A friend of mine and i have been trying to do this and have not
succeeded so far. Both of us have boats with traditonal shaped hulls.

i think I succeeded in doing this once on my Cal 27, but can remember
how I did it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
