It should be noted that Midwest book review gives 5 stars to every book they rate. This is a good book on the subject of Sea Anchors and Drogues but is a bit dated in some of the information it presents. It relies heavily on data supplied by the makers of the equipment, thus the assessment of their performance is somewhat skewed.

Now in an updated second edition, Heavy Weather Tactics: Using Sea Anchors And Drogues is a straightforward reference and guidebook for anyone charged with the responsibility of sailing a yacht or motor vessel out of sight of land. Covering how deep water and coastal waves behave, how to deploy a sea anchor or drogue, what size drag device is needed for different types of vessels, how to create a quick makeshift sea anchor if needed, and much more, Heavy Weather Tactics is highly recommended for its straightforward, no-nonsense style of presenting very solid information. A superb presentation from a seasoned author who has traveled over 40,000 sea miles in racing and cruising boats.
