How to Cope With Storms is direct and to the point.,
This review is from: How to Cope with Storms (Paperback)
We use this book for the Ocean Sailing Class that we teach (soundsailingcenter.com). The book is straighforward, authoritative, and to the point. Covers a lot of material. Very good value. Some of the descriptions about the difficulty in dealing with heavy weather are so direct in a German sort of a way, that they are funny (I was reading the book initially while sailing upwind in 40-50 knots in our J44. The pounding was intense. The author writes something to the effect that 'in heavy weather, when sailing upwind in a modern, well built boat, it will seem that the boat will break apart from the pounding, but it will not'. We had a good laugh about that section, since it was exactly what we were thinking.
