fitness, and management advice, and new material on
meteorology and on seasick remedies. Ample advice from
great sailors such as Olin Stephens, Robin

 A
review by an Amazon customer.
What the authors have
done is taken a scientific approach to storm-survival
and have gathered evidence both ancient and modern to
support their thesis
It turns out that a
sailboat's anatomy - high wind exposure, running (under)
bare poles and a deep keel - can be used to defeat the
underwater component of a breaking sea, rendering it
harmless foam. The key, of course, is knowing how to
stabilize the yacht in relationship to wind and water |

 Anyone
sailing a yacht or a motor vessel out of sight of land
needs to be prepared for the worst that the weather can
throw at them. Just as self-steering systems and
autopilots have given the offshore seaman another pair
of hands to steer the boat, so sea anchors and drogues
have provided another means of combating threatening
seas. "Heavy Weather Tactics" deals with a subject of
great concern to leisure boaters and professional seamen
alike, providing the reader with in-depth advice and
analysis on all aspects of choosing and deploying a sea
anchor or drogue |

 Any
boater who leaves the harbour is eventually going to end
up in rough weather. A few will find themselves in
genuinely life-threatening situations. To respond
correctly, you need more than grit. You need a properly
equipped, seaworthy boat, and you need to have mastered
a body of specialized knowledge and techniques rarely
covered in the boating press. IM's only title in this
area, Adlard Coles' Heavy Weather Sailing, has sold more
than 100,000 copies over its lifetime, suggesting that
boaters take the threat of heavy weather seriously and
are prepared to do their homework. Roger Marshall's
Rough Weather Seamanship for Sail and Power is more
accessible to the beginner, addresses near-shore as well
as offshore scenarios, and covers powerboats as well as
sail. An accomplished naval architect, Roger Marshall
first concentrates on the boat - how to select and
modify a boat with heavy weather in mind. For the sailor
that might mean choosing a fairly heavy boat with a
substantial keel, reefing gear (to reduce sail area) and
heavy-duty storm sails. The powerboater will want
reserve buoyancy in the bow, stability at low running
speeds, and perhaps twin engines. Both will look for
stability, top quality construction, adequate power, and
a deck layout that sheds water while still protecting
the crew. |
