The Pardeys' use this visually explicit medium to demonstrate the technical details of storm tactics for both modern and classic boats and show how you can adapt their ideas for your own use. Eliminate fear and face heavy weather with a plan; how and when to use the sailors safety valve: heaving to-with or without a para-anchor. Covers gear and equipment, plus special sails for heavy weather are discussed in detail.
