Storm Tactics Handbook
Storm Tactics Handbook: Modern Methods of Heaving-To for Survival in Extreme Conditions
The fear of storms has kept many otherwise competent sailors from venturing into the open ocean.
This book, written by Lin and Larry Pardey, explores the myths that have sprung up about ways to bring small boats through storms and shows tried and true methods that work for all types of sailing vessels.
Special sections explain storm sail design, sea-anchor technology and tips for preventing gear failure at sea. Included are a series of check lists designed to help potential voyagers chose, then outfit their boat for safe voyaging plus others to prepare them as a storm actually approaches and reassure them once they are in the midsts of heavy winds and seas
When it comes to the subject of capable cruising; the Pardeys have literally and figuratively written the book on it. The lessons they’ve learned after tens of thousands of miles at sea are hard-earned, clearly imparted, and totally invaluable. –Herb McCormick, editor-at-large, Cruising World Magazine.
