Closing in on 200,000 miles of blue water voyaging, Lin and Larry Pardey are recognized as the sailing world's most experienced and knowledgeable cruising couple. In Storm Tactics, they provide a detailed look at the techniques and gear that have kept them safe at sea.
"... I wanted to show how the sailor's safety valve--heaving-to-works, and the slick it creates. It's hard for people to imagine the almost magic effect of a slick as it saps the power of breaking waves...." - Larry Pardey
"One of the reasons I wanted to sail east-to-west around Cape Horn was to take video shots proving that small vessels can safely weather storms if they are well outfitted and efficiently handled," Larry Pardey stated after his record-breaking voyage. Lin and Larry completed their against-the-wind rounding of the Great Southern Capes on board their engineless 29-foot Taleisin, weathering nine days of storm-force winds to reach Puerto Montt in Chile. There they interviewed several high-latitude voyagers, prepared the narrative, and shot further detailed footage to complete the Storm Tactics video, a project Lin and Larry conceived almost ten years ago.
Add the Storm Tactics Handbook to the Video and you've got the ultimate reference set. Modern methods of heaving-to for survival in extreme conditions. Trysail and para-anchor technology for all types of boats and sailors. Concise and easy to understand, Storm Tactics Handbook covers all types of sailing vessels from the most classic of cruising yachts to modern race boats. This is MUST KNOW information for every sailor, coastal or offshore. Used as a text at sailing schools and cruising seminars for offshore rallies in the UK, the USA and New Zealand. Now in its sixth printing, Lin and Larry add revisions to each new printing to keep Storm Tactics Handbook up to date.
