This 84 minute video delivers the skills you need to weather storms with confidence. If you like the preview, buy the DVD. 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.

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.

HANDBOOK\\n
\\nAdd the Storm Tactics Handbook, recently revised 3rd Ed. to the Video and you\'ve got the ultimate reference set. Price: $20.65. Modern methods of heaving-to for survival in extreme conditions. As in the first two editions of this book, Lin and Larry describe their concerns about the tendency of modern sailors to discard the classic methods used to bring sailing vessels of all sizes\\u2014from vast clipper ships to tiny yachts\\u2014through amazingly strong winds and heavy seas. \\u201cThere is only one storm tactic that has the ability to sap the power of breaking seas,\\u201d 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. http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/pardey/pardey_books/books/storm_tactics_handbook.htm\\n
Mario Vittone, a U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer for 14 years, in an unsolicited testimony, wrote: \\u201cI 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 \\u2018red, right, return\\u2019.\\u201d\\n
