Heavy Weather Sailing by K. Adlard Coles

Heavy Weather Sailing has remained the classic of navigating and surviving storms at sea. It is unique in its focus on the lessons learned by seasoned sailors in heavy weather conditions. Nowhere else will you find an opportunity like this to learn from the hard-won experience of others what works and what doesn’t in surviving a storm at sea. The stories and their analyses are further augmented by advice- on boat stability and seaworthiness, spars and rigging, heavy-weather preparations and tactics, the use of drogues and sea anchors, meteorology and sea-state predictions, crew fitness for heavy weather, and more. You'll find well-proven methods for surviving bad weather at sea in powerboats and multihulls as well as monohull sailboats. This advice from leading seafarers has been compiled and edited by Peter Bruce, one of the world’s most experienced sailors, who has assumed the book's editing from the late Adlard Coles.
