Reefing under sail (not using engine): 2 ways that work for me, & 2 that don't

I've had some helpful suggestions of various ways to reef under sail, aside from going hove-to. They are: 1. Using the mainsail to keep the boat head-to-wind, 2. Letting all the sails go, and 3. Close-hauled under jib with mainsail slack. So I give these three methods a go. And I also try out an adjustment to the hove-to position.
