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 room to
leeward?
Should you weather the storm or run
for shelter?
To cope with extreme weather conditions you need to be able to
recognise -- well in advance -- the approach of a deep low pressure system, to prepare for
safe navigation during the passage of the storm, and then be able to handle the boat
safely while the storm rages. This book, packed with practical advice and
information, will help you cope with all these aspects. |
