'hove to' on a Hunter Vision 32

Has anybody done this on there Vision 32? I'm anxious to give it a try but would love some tips before doing it.

I've done it on a 326. Gotto play with Mains to get it right. Jib and steering as per book.

Very simple, as on my H320. Sail along and simply turn into the wind without releasing the jib/genoa. As you complete the 180 turn, the backwind on the foresail will stop the boat in the water within seconds.

Your 320 is not a fractional jib, correct? The Vision has a very lg main and a tiny jib. I m curious if the little jib will hold the boat.

+1. That's the ticket on any fractional boat. Once set ease the mainsheet or traveler to balance the boat.
