Heavy Weather Sailing

Fourth Edition

K. Adlard Coles, deceased
Peter Bruce (ed.)

The first thorough revision of an alltime classic in many years. Coles and others tell spine-tingling actual experiences followed by post-mortems analyzing which gear and tactics worked and which didn't. The twenty chapters by Adlard Coles remain as gripping and useful as ever, and with the addition of 20 completely new chapters from expert contributors on both sides of the Atlantic, Heavy Weather Sailing is for the first time as applicable to modern hulls and rigs as it is to older designs.
