by Dietrich V. Haeften To cope with extreme weather conditions sailors need to be able to recognize in advance the approach of a deep, low-pressure system, to prepare for safe navigation during the storm, and then be able to handle the boat whilst it rages. This book aims to help readers cope with all these aspects.
