How have other fellow T37 owners set their sails to heave to? The one time I tried in 20-30 knots I tried various things and what seemed to work best for me was,
I double reefed the main, took the genoa all the way in, traveller to weather side, the main not fully tight and the wheel all the way over. The boat swung to a maximum of 40-50 degrees off of the wind and moved at a little more than a knot. With the centerboard down the boat swung more but had less speed. How have others done it?
