Baba/Panda/Tashiba 40 - sail configuration for heaving-to

[BruceOnBob]

Hi, I’m looking for advice or suggestions from Baba/Panda/Tashiba 40 owners re best set up for heaving-to in moderate to heavy conditions. I have a Tashiba 40 which I tried various combinations, and found best to be triple reefed main and partially furled staysail. However I still find boat tends to fore reach at 2+kn in 20+ kn AWS, and lie beam on. Any suggestions as to how I could improve on this?
