Storm Tactics

Preparation is continuing. This book can be summarized as 

'learn to heave to and park your boat'

(and handy practical advice on how to rig a para anchor/drogue to get your boat to not foresail if the wind velocity increase past the point where either a triplereefed mainsail, or a trysail is too much for the rudder...or if you have no more rudder!)


A quote to remember

'I believe that any boat can be made to heave-to' - Sir Peter Blake.
