began heaving to / began (adverse/bad/heavy/stormy) weather manoeuvring Explanation: Heaving-to is first and foremost a very viable storm tactic. It is used by all the more knowledgeable offshore sailors. When the wind and the seas become unmanageable, this is an excellent (albeit a mite boring) way to park your boat and wait out the bad weather. - http://cruising.coastalboating.net/Seamanship/Anchoring/Heav... -------- In sailing, heaving to (to heave to and to be hove to) is a way of slowing a sailboat's forward progress, as well as fixing the helm and sail positions so that the boat does not actively have to be steered - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaving_to ------- The operation of "heaving to." performed by nearly every sailing vessel caught on the coast during the recent storm, is never resorted to by merchant vessels until it becomes absolutely necessary. - https://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SDU18891005.2.64 ----- Heavy Weather Boat Handling - http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/heavy2.htm --------- Steering-way means that the ship is moving forward with enough power to steer rather than just getting pushed around by waves and wind. The ship must keep its bow (the front end) pointing into the waves to plow through them safely, since a massive wave striking the ship's side could roll the vessel over and sink it. Wind and waves will try to turn the vessel, and pushing against them requires forward momentum. - http://www.popularmechanics.com/adventure/outdoors/tips/a106... -------- |
