Heavy Weather Sailing
By: Peter Bruce
Heavy
Weather Sailing has long reigned as the ultimate international
authority on surviving storms at sea aboard sailing and motor vessels.
The book brings a wealth of expert advice from many of the great
sailors of the present, including fresh accountsfrom Peter Cook and
Larry and Lyn Pardey of yachts, both sail and power, overtaken by
extreme weather.
Techniques for
coping with heavy seas are explored and a new section on storm sails
has been added. A new chapter on Seeking Shelter from Heavy Weather
gives pithy advice on how to anchor, moor and go alongside during a
storm, as well as advising against simply dashing for harbour without
any thought as to its suitability or safety once there. Seasickness
remedies proposed, there are lessons to be learnt for those in command,
and a detailed analysis of meteorological conditions leading up to a
storm.
This is the book for
crews of any size contemplating voyages out of sight of land anywhere
in the world, whether racing or cruising. It gives a clear message of
the sort of preparations required, and the tactics which should be
considered when it comes on to blow.
