Support us making these videos: https://ko-fi.com/saga47swansailing Website: https://www.saga47swan.com Heave to is a tactic that all sailors should practise. The heave is easy, even a novice sailor can execute it safely and effectively. Heave to have many uses: To stop the yacht in case of a person over board. Heave to in heavy weather to rest, reef the main or have crew go to the head. Like all heavy weather tactics "practise it before you need it" #heavyweather #heaveto #adventuresailing #stormtactic #sailing #yachtmasteroffshore

? ????? ??? ??? | ????? ?????, ?????? South Walls is a tidal island or peninsula at the southern end of Hoy in Orkney, Scotland. It is connected to the main body of Hoy, and to the district of North Walls, by a thin neck of land known as the Ayre. Its largest settlement is the village of Longhope, which lies on a long natural harbour of the same name. Overlooking Longhope in the north east is Hackness Martello Tower and Battery. The tower, together with another on the north side at Crockness on Hoy, was built in 1815 to protect British ships in the bay of Longhope against attack by American and French privateers, during the Napoleonic Wars. #longhope #sailorkney #southwalls #martellotower #scapaflow #adventuresailing #0rkney #scotland #orkney
