Product Description
Written by an accomplished naval architect, this book shows the average boater how to safely weather the fiercest storm.

It offers ocean-tested heavy-weather techniques for both sailboats and powerboats, practical advice on surviving worst-case scenarios, and decision-making exercises that can save lives.
