 "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.

“In a storm at sea, luck
is highly biased toward the sailor who has a plan.” So write
Lin and Larry Pardey in this, the third edition of their
highly regarded Storm Tactics Handbook. As in the first two
editions of this book, they describe their concerns about
the tendency of modern sailors to discard the classic
methods used to bring sailing vessels of all sizes—from vast
clipper ships to tiny yachts—through amazingly strong winds
and heavy seas. “There is only one storm tactic that has the
ability to sap the power of breaking seas,” they explain.
With clear and concise diagrams, they proceed to show how
heaving-to works and how even the most modern of yachts can
be made to heave-to, whether with only sail power or with
the assistance of a sea anchor. A discussion of the many
ways heaving-to can be useful at sea—as a way to help the
crew keep well rested, to effect repairs, to steady a vessel
should outside assistance ever be necessary—will convince
even those who plan to run before their imagined “ultimate
storm” that heaving-to is still a “must know.” |
Mario Vittone, a U.S. Coast
Guard rescue swimmer for 14 years, in an unsolicited testimony,
wrote:
“I have been on several
rescues (and heard of many more) that would have been
completely unnecessary if the sailboat captains aboard would
have . . . practiced the skills taught by Lin and Larry
Pardey. Not knowing how to heave-to in bad weather is as
inexcusable as not knowing ‘red, right, return’.”

"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...."

Pardey
