I'm about to make an offer to purchase a Bristol 38.8. I've been told that these boats are difficult to heave to because the bow keeps falling off to leward. I'd like to hear from folks who are familiar with the 38.8 (or similar hulls like the Bristol 41.1) about problems you have encountered when attempting to heave to and what successful techniques, if any, you have used to heave to in these boats. My thanks in advance for your responses.
