Summary: Far less overwhelming with Pardeys DVD in hand
Comment: This book has excellent info, but is a bit overwhelming and I didn't let my partner read it, cause it can be pretty scary. Then I came across the DVD Lin and Larry Pardey put out. Their ideas are discussed in this book. But their Storm tactics DVD put it all in prospective and added a lot of info. was fun to watch too and my partner came away feeling eager to get out voyaging. The two make a grand combination.

Summary: Essential book for those who venture offshore
Comment: I would give this book five stars except that it is a little out of date and not the easiest to read. Despite this, there is no question that the material within is critically important for any sailor who ventures offshore and worth reading. I feel this topic has not been adequately explored in the printed media. There are only three good books on the subject and this book leads the pack. There is still a lot of research to be done in area of heavy weather sailing. Coles does a good job explaining what to do in various situations he faced. This book gives you a chance to put yourself in his shoes. This book is well worth the price. It is cheap insurance considering that what you learn could save your life. Serious yachtsman read this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Heavy weather sailing - a masterclass
Comment: No-one who takes responsibility for others at sea should be without the life-saving knowledge in this important book. It is a 'distance-learning masterclass'of wild-water seamanship, bang up-to-date, and filled with hard-won experience of what works and what doesn't when the chips are down.
I would not want to be at sea in a rising gale without the 'know-how' I've learned from 'Heavy Weather Sailing'. I echo Pete Goss's endorsement - "If you buy no other book for your voyage, buy this one."
