The "heave-to" maneuver serves as a primary response for recovering a person overboard (MOB) while sailing, particularly when shorthanded. When a crew member falls overboard while sailing close-hauled, the skipper should immediately tack the boat without adjusting the sails.3:17 By keeping the headsail backed (hove-to) and pushing the helm to windward, the vessel loses forward momentum and drifts toward the person in the water.4:53 If the initial approach misses the target, the crew should immediately douse the headsail, bear away to a reach at 120 degrees to the wind, then tack back toward the casualty under mainsail alone.8:57 Engaging the engine provides additional control to fine-tune the final approach.7:29 The casualty should be recovered at the leeward quarter to prevent the hull from rolling onto them in heavy seas.14:38 Practicing this maneuver regularly, such as by retrieving a floating hat, builds the necessary familiarity with a specific boat's handling characteristics and sail configuration.1:39
