Book Sea - Adlard Coles - Heavy Weather Tactics - 9780713668919

Description

Anyone sailing a yacht or motor vessel out of sight of land needs to be prepared for the worst that the weather can throw at them. Just as self-steering systems and autopilots have given the offshore seaman another pair of hands to steer the boat, so sea anchors and drogues have provided another means of combating threatening seas

This book is a classic; the last word on a subject of very great concern to leisure boaters and professional seamen alike, providing the reader with in-depth advice and analysis of all aspects of choosing and deploying a sea anchor or drogue

'A treasury of knowledge on the use of sea anchors and drogues in storm survival situations' - Great Lakes Boating 'The most complete work to date' - WoodenBoat 'Wisdom is his middle name' - Latitudes and Attitudes
