Storm Tactics
Handbook
Modern Methods of Heaving-to for Survival in Extreme Conditions
by Lin & Larry Pardey
Modern methods of heaving-to for survival in extreme conditions. Trysail and
para-anchor technology for all types of boats and sailors. Lin and Larry
Pardey have voyaged together for over 26 years, covering the equivalent of 5
circumnavigations on board their own self-built cutters, Seraffyn and
Taleisin. Larry, along with Leslie Dyball, won the handicap prize for first
overall in the exceptionally stormy 1974 Round Britain two-handed race. Lin
and Larry have delivered two dozen boats across oceans and raced their own
and others boats. Their interest in storm tactics has led them to research
both older and modern methods of heaving-to, by talking and corresponding
with sailors from dozens of countries, by working with Victor Shane at the
Drag Device Data Base, and by testing both on their own boat in
hurricane-force winds and on modern boats off the Cape of Storms, in South
Africa. Illustrated with B&W photos and drawings.
Pardey Books, Vista CA, 1995, 170 pages, 6" x 9", trade paperback,
illustrated.
