The fear of storms has kept many otherwise competent sailors from
venturing into the open ocean. This book explores the myths that
have sprung up about ways to bring small boats through storms and
shows tried and true methods that work for all types of sailing
vessels. Special sections explain storm sail design, sea-anchor
technology and tips for preventing gear failure at sea. Included
are a series of check lists designed to help potential voyagers
chose, then outfit their boat for safe voyaging plus others to
prepare them as a storm actually approaches and reassure them once
they are in the midsts of heavy winds and seas. Marrio Vittone, a
U.S. Coastguard Rescue Swimmer for 14 years, in an unsolicited
testimoney, wrote: 'I have been on several rescues (and heard of
many more) that would have been completely unnecessary if the
sailboat captains aboard would have practiced the skills taught by
Lin and Larry Pardey. Not knowing how to heave-to in bad weather is
as inexcusable as not knowing 'red, right, return'.'
