Fast Reference for Sailing in Rough Conditions

Part of the Captain's Quick Guides series, this compact reference from respected sailing author John Rousmaniere distils the key tactics for handling a sailboat safely when weather and sea state turn severe. It is built for quick reference rather than cover-to-cover reading, setting out practical steps for reefing, storm sails, heaving to and crew safety.

Rousmaniere's long record writing on seamanship and offshore racing gives the guidance real credibility, condensed here into a format sailors can keep close at hand on board.

Suited to cruising and racing sailors who want a concise, practical companion for heavy weather decision-making rather than a lengthy textbook.
