Synopsis

Being caught out in a gale is every sailor's nightmare. Doubts and fears are hard to banish as the boat is battered by the wind and waves. Will the helmsman cope with the huge waves piling up behind? Can the rigging take the strain? Is there still plenty of searoom to leeward? Should you weather the storm or run for shelter? This book explains how bad weather develops, how to avoid it, and how to survive if that weather can't be avoided. From watching for signs of oncoming danger to coping with emergencies on board, this book is packed with practical advice to help the seafarer cope. 'A great weight of sound practical information.'

Media Reviews
'This book is packed with practical advice to help the seafarer cope.' Yachting Life (June 2006) 'A very informative guide to heavy weather techniques. Covering all aspects from how bad weather develops to coping with it, and emergencies on board as a result. A very useful read.' Gaffers Log (September 2006) 'Filled with plenty of practical advice, diagrams and pictures to put across its message. Almost like an insurance policy, the hope is you'll never need much of the information it provides, but the investment is worth making to ensure you're well prepared.' All At Sea (Jan 2007) 'A brilliant book... Clearly, simply and lucidly written... I strongly recommend this little gem.' The Little Ship (Spring 2007)
