| Description: |
Brings together the best accounts of sailors dealing successfully with the elements, as appeared in various editions of Heavy Weather Sailing. |
| Synopsis: |
For over 40 years, Heavy Weather Sailing has been the bible on surviving storms at sea aboard sailing and motor vessels. Key to the book's guidance are accounts of sailors and boaters who have been caught out by the worst the weather can throw at them, and survived to explain how. These accounts change with each new edition, but the lessons they can teach are as valuable now as they were when they occurred. The best, most instructive of these accounts are gathered together for the first time in Classic Storms from Heavy Weather Sailing. Peter Bruce has selected accounts from the first five editions of Heavy Weather Sailing, some of them dating back to 1967, showing that whilst boats and designs may have changed, the essential elements in coping with storms - good preparation and good tactics - remain timeless. Along with Peter Bruce's up-to-date commentary on how the skippers and crews managed each situation, new diagrams and colour photographs help demonstrate how their success could be replicated in the event of similar circumstances arising. |
