Elise can heave-to

Heather and I tried it on the way back from Monterey. Needed some time to fiddle with the engine and the way it was mounted for a little while. Elise behaved very nicely under the #3 jib and the main could adjust the angle of drift as expected.

Pretty big swell too.

Nice to know that she can do this, it can always become handy in the future, especially in the event of another auto-pilot breakdown...
