Posts: 5,558 Key Largo, FL & Put-in-Bay, OH... | Same thing without the jib: Main way out and tiller hard over to leeward. The boat will tend to keep oscillating a little away from the wind and toward the wind, but will stay on the same tack (unless there is a MAJOR wind shift).
If you are parked in this way, whether with or without jib, and if you need to stay parked but get onto the other tack (like if you are about to go on the rocks and need to drift the opposite direction), you do the "dime tack" as described in Hobie U:
DIME TACK (Performed when the boat is stationary or moving very slowly.) 1. Push the tiller hard over as if to turn the boat up into the wind. 2. Grasp the boom or main sheet blocks and pull it to weather until the boat is tacked. 3. Reverse the rudders when the boat moves backwards. 4. Release the sheets leaving the sails loose. You are now in the Safety Position on the other tack.
Gary's technique of sheeting the main in tight and keeping the tiller hard over, and oscillating between port and starboard tacks, may work when you are out in the middle of nowhere, but when you are in the midst of a lot of other boats, you want to park in such a way that you stay on the same tack, usually starboard so you have some rights even though you are parked.
Also, with Gary's technique of keeping the tiller secured to one side with the main in tight, if there is a MAJOR wind shift which switches the boat to the other tack, the boat could capsize. That won't happen if you use the main-out technique.
Please correct me if I am wrong. | | |
