Description
Heavy Weather Sailing is a classic and highly recognized standard work for sailors who want to understand and master sailing in demanding weather conditions. Written by Martin Thomas and Peter Bruce, the book draws on extensive experience of ocean sailing, racing and rescue operations. The eighth edition provides in-depth guidance on how to prepare your boat, rig and crew for rough seas, strong winds and extreme conditions. The book explains tactics for storm sailing, choice of sails, use of anchors and towing, steering in high waves and handling emergencies at sea. With clear explanations, practical advice and realistic examples, the book works both as a textbook and as mentally preparatory reading for sailors who take safety and decision-making in heavy weather seriously.
