Re: M_Boats: Heave to, Matey!

I tell my non-sailing friends that heaving to is just putting your automatic transmission in Park on a sailboat. The only boat I ever had that did not heave to nicely was my old Cape Cod Catboat "The Old Cat" (see below for more info on CCCBs) since they have no jib to back wind. Still could be done, but trickier. John R. Butler theoldcat@cox.net My e-mail address just refers to my last sailboat, "The Old Cat." Check her out at: <http://www.unicorn-systems.com/theoldcat.htm>
