Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The seamanship classic you should have on-board when sailing in rough weather

Adlard Coles' Heavy Weather Sailing provides you with expert advice for when you venture out of sight of land, whether for racing or cruising. It gives a clear message of seamanlike design features, preparations, and tactics that you should consider against the time when it comes on to blow. It includes new how-to chapters on storm sails, taking shelter, and managing multihulls in storms, plus thrilling new accounts of actual storm encounters.

About the Author

Peter Bruce is a survivor of the gale-plagued 1979 Fastnet Race and a Royal Navy veteran. An avid cruising sailor and racer, he has handled sailboats in all weather. He is the author of several British pilot guides and was the author/editor of the fourth and fifth editions of Heavy Weather Sailing.

4.0 out of 5 stars So far so good, July 16, 2008
This review is from: Adlard Coles' Heavy Weather Sailing, Sixth Edition (Hardcover)
I am still in the process of reading but so far I like it. The first chapter is a bit overwhelming with statistics on boat stability but it is still very interesting. The book has great glossy photos and the material is organized and presented in an easy to follow format. Perfect for an intermediate sailor. I am very much looking forward to further reading.
