I am due to receive my new 348 this May and am trying to figure out a simple system for heaving-to, what with the self tacking jib making it impossible as-is. Would stanchion mounted cleats with simple short line from the jib clew be too much pressure on the stanchion? Anyone have suggestions? What works and what doesn't? Always appreciate your wisdom and experience! Thanks

I made a dyneema leash with an eye on each end that I run from a pad eye on the toe rail to the jib sheet where I attach it with a D-ring. Mostly I use it for keeping the self-tacker from sliding back and forth in the slip and at anchor. I have tried it for heaving-to and it worked.

Thank you, Mike. That sounds like a great solution and also easy on the wallet!

we replaced the bolts at the end of the self tacking track with some with eyelets on them so we could tie the jib to the eye if needed. Having said that even if we do, with the fully battened main we sail off at 1.5 knots anyway, so we never actually get the boat stopped.

Your boats don't have the sliding "stopper" I have on my st jib track just for that purpose?
In this picture is blocked in the far right and there is another in the left side, not visible.

Thank you, Mark and Catherine. Also a good option. So not too much pressure on the eyelets/track or danger of eyelets ripping out of their threading? Thanks for your help.

From everything I've seen in person and in catalog, the 2022 model has a solid track without the spring loaded stopper along an adjustable track.

I think that the first question that you might ask is whether your Hanse WILL heave too. If anyone has managed to do it successfully, you may ask how they managed it. By heaving Too, I do not mean doing it in light winds, sitting by the helm, giving regular tweeks. I mean, going below, with the hatch shut, sitting it out, knowing that the boat will sit comfortably & reliably. My last 2, non Hanse, yachts would do this beautifully, the mainsail would not flog. It would be slightly filled & suffer no damage whatsoever. As a single handed sailor it was great to be able to just spin the boat round without letting the jib out & heaving too, whilst i sorted a problem, or went below, or just stopped to think. Does not happen with my Hanse, even with the jib tied over.

Yes, Samuel. And you are not the first to mention this shortcoming. Best I can do (without having my boat yet), is collect potential methods and eventually try. Sounds like it will not be part of my sailing maneuver repertoire though in the end. Thanks for your experienced voice.

It has been suggested by another Hanse owner (I have not tried it in anything above 12kts of wind) is to lock the tiller amid ships & furl the jib. Then bring the mainsail to the central position. But also have it reefed at least to first reef. This might work for those moments when one needs to stop for a few minutes to gather ones thoughts & sort a problem. But I am not sure it would work as a proper heave too solution. |
