I'm new to sailing (only had about 40 hours) and just asking a question to satisfy my curiosity.We were out the other day (with instructor) in 20 knot winds with a full main and jib,running on a close hauled starboard tack heeling about 30 degrees.We hove to and reefed the main.What would have happened if for some reason I put the boat on a starboard beam reach without altering the close hauled sails.Would we have broached.:)
