 Surviving
the Storm
Coastal & Offshore Tactics
by Steve & Linda Dashew
For more than two decades the Dashew's have studied heavy weather and how best to deal with it. They've interviewed sailors from around the world whose experiences, in addition to their own 200,000 plus miles at sea, form the basis of the most detailed manual on heavy weather sailing ever published.
The techniques and details of what works and what doesn't is backed up with 70 in depth interviews. Not just salty tales - you will feel the emotion and distress caused when your life, family, and vessel are on the line.
These stories are enhanced with detailed illustrations explaining the why and how of what happened, both right and wrong, and what you can do to avoid the same situation.
Plus you'll learn the heavy weather secrets of 33 professionals. Take advantage of lessons from sailors who have survived some of the worst weather imaginable, and learn the common mistakes which cost people their lives.
Surviving the Storm: Coastal & Offshore Tactics is filled with the most spectacular collection of heavy weather photographs ever assembled. 560 photos and illustrations will help you to understand the right and wrong way to deal with breaking seas, heaving to, working your way to windward, running before the storm and the use of drogues or para anchors.
Surviving the Storm will change your definition of heavy weather. All of your cruising, even the majority which takes place in pleasant weather, will benefit. Passages will be faster and more relaxed. You and your crew will feel more comfortable with the elements. To a substantial degree, those nagging "what if?" doubts will be erased.
