vessel hove to / at rest

vessel at rest > vessel is motionless
vessel hove to > vessel has been brought to a complete stop

parado el buque > to be hove to
Diccionario Técnico Marítimo - Luis Suarez Gil

In sailing, heaving to (to heave to and to be hove to) is a way of slowing a sailboat's forward progress, as well as fixing the helm and sail positions so that the boat does not actively have to be steered...
The term is also used in the context of vessels under power and refers to bringing the vessel to a complete stop. For example, in waters over which the United States has jurisdiction the Coast Guard may, under 14 U.S.C. § 89, demand that a boat "heave to" in order to enforce federal laws.
