Title: Heavy Weather Sailing by K Adlard Coles ISBN: 8-2860029-5-4 Format: Hardcover |
Average Customer Rating: 4.17 (6 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: If it's gonna blow...
Comment: stay the hell out of the water! That's what I gained from reading this book.
He details his exploits and the exploits of others when encountering storm after storm during sailing yacht races.
Every chapter is an encounter with yet another storm. That can wear on you after a while. Sort of like being out all day in a strong cold wind. I felt beat up just reading about it.
At the begining of each chapter I kept finding myself willing him "Don't do it! You're going to regret it!" But, there are no surprises. He gets nailed every time. The only thing that amazes me is that he's still alive.
If that's the kind of book you like, you'll love this one. Me, I'm staying on shore.

Summary: Outstanding sailing book and manual for heavy weather
Comment: This is my favorite sailing book. It is not only an excellent manual for coping with heavy weather, but also an entertaining drama for armchair sailors. This book includes descriptions of actual experiences and technical supporting material and research, covering everything from boat design to weather to foul weather gear. Every sailor should read this boat before setting out offshore.

Summary: Personal history of worst storms in the English Channel
Comment: Crusty limey who sailed the the waters of the British Isles & North Atlantic. Visceral first-hand descriptions of small vessels through 50+ years of the foulest weather. Detailed storm tracks. Practical life-saving techniques with pro& con discussions. This is the book that makes "Perfect Storm" look like an afternoon squall.
