How do you keep your catamaran still, keep her from capsizing, without having to tend the sheets and tillers?

I have seen bits and pieces of this information, over the years. It is high time to bring all of our collective (wisdom?) experience together to answer the question:
"How do you keep the catamaran in one place, without having to manhandle her?"

Some common terms include:
Heave to
Hove to
Park
Parking
Parked
Planted, In Irons (me )
Lay a hull
Laying a hull
laying in the hull

Please tell your thoughts on this subject. I see three things being accomplished when parked. Foremost is to prevent capsize. Then, second is to keep the boat from falling off the wind and running away from the present location. Finally, you want to keep the boat in the same approximate spot. All of this, we want to accomplish without having to tend the controls.

I have heard of a few ways to do it. I have practiced two, maybe three of them.

I have "hove to" (accomplished by "heaving to") by filling the main and the jib on opposite tacks from one another. The result is a boat that firmly remains at a certain angle to the wind and drifts downwind, about 45º off of the wind.

I have actually stood up on my boom, rested my shoulders against my main sail, and spectated some racing while my catamaran was in this "hove to" situation.

I must be able to stop my boat in any number of conditions, so I must use a method that works with no jib present, when cat rigged. The method I use is something that I call "planted in irons." I can't honestly remember where I got this idea and it seems to me that I discovered it on my own.

Even if I did discover it on my own, I am certain that I am not the original inventor. I just worked this system out for myself and I must say that it was hectic and scary to learn it.

Here it is: Planting the cat in irons.

Furl the jib. Sheet the mainsail as hard as you dare. Center the traveler. Affix the tillers all the say over to one side or the other; either tack. I stuff my tiller extension stick under my hiking straps to jamb it into an immovable position. What follows will make your gut become tense and may even make your butt constrict. (butt pucker)

The inflated mainsail will pull the stern of the boat toward weather (weather helm) until the luff (mast) of the main sail will cross the eye of the wind. Then the mainsail will invert and fill on the opposite tack. As the weather helm pushes the sterns in the opposite direction, the locked rudders will force the sterns to move backwards over the water away from the wind and this will cause the mast to once again tack across the eye of the wind. Now the sail will fill on the original tack and will move the boat forward over the water, enough to turn the cat through the wind again.

The cycle will repeat again and again. The cat will always remain within a few degrees of "dead up wind." The sail will oscillate from one tack to the other and back again. The cat's movement over the ground will be somewhat "dead down wind."

Please tell us how YOU park YOUR cat!
