This much-expanded edition is the first thorough revision in 16 years. Twenty new chapters from expert contributors on both sides of the Atlantic cover modern hull shapes and rigs  the latest gear and strategies for outlasting storms at sea  and advances in weather knowledge. There are also chapters on powerboat and multihull management in heavy weather. And the material carried over from the third edition remains as gripping and useful as ever. Under such titles as \"September Hurricane\" and \"Twice Rolled Over \" they tell spine-tingling-we-were-there stories followed by postmortems analyzing which gear and tactics worked and which didnt. With the aid of the comprehensive index  the sailor of a vessel designed and equipped to the standards of the 1990s will be ready for any weather. If ever there were a definitive volume  based on a lifetimes cruising and racing  and profiting from the knowledge of experienced yachtsmen and organizations  this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45256785395765,"sku":"ByrdShop_0877423369","price":32.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780877423362.jpg?v=1779898308","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/heavy-weather-sailing-9780877423362","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
