Seamanship Question #23

Wouldn't it be the same for a junk?
Sure. What was I thinking?!
A junk sail is different in that it's leading edge isn't supported by a
mast or stay, and it has heavy full battens. And one with a schooner rig
is going to have more variation in what you can do to get the boat to
balance on the course you want.
But yeah, basically it's just like heaving-to in any sailboat. You go
out in the middle of the water and umm... heave-to. Y'know.
