Synopsis
The most watched video about handling heavy weather, Storm Tactics delivers the skills you need to manage storms with confidence. It's the next best thing to having Lin and Larry Pardey onboard, coaching you on storm tactics as the seas build and the rigging howls. With over 200,000 miles of blue water voyaging under their keel, 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. Includes footage of Lin and Larry rounding Cape Horn in Taleisin, their 29.5 foot Lyle Hess designed engineless wooden cutter.
