Synopsis

Being caught out in a gale is every sailor's nightmare. Doubts and fears are hard to banish as the boat is battered by the wind and waves. Will the helmsman cope with the huge waves piling up behind? Can the rigging take the strain? Is there still plenty of searoom to leeward? Should you weather the storm or run for shelter? This book explains how bad weather develops, how to avoid it, and how to survive if that weather can't be avoided. From watching for signs of oncoming danger to coping with emergencies on board, this book is packed with practical advice to help the seafarer cope. 'A great weight of sound practical information.' Nautical Magazine 'Highly recommended.' The Lifeboat
