ISBN:1878832034 Using Parachutes, Sea Anchors and Drouges to Cope with Heavy Weather.
By Victor Shane
If you have only one book in your library about severe storm survival, this one would be a good choice. It starts with a few chapters about principle and technique of sea anchors and drogues, then goes on to describe hundreds of specific incidents where drag devices were used - all in the skippers' own words. By the time you've read a few dozen examples relevant to your boat, you'll have a very clear idea of what you need and how you should prepare. We highly recommend this book. Paperback, 8-1/2" x 11", 250 pages.
