Movie Reviews of Storm Tactics - Cape Horn Tested
Movie Review: Don't leave home without it!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Storm Tactics" DVD (along with the companion handbook) are the quintessential works for learning and applying the techniques necessary to survive--and to survive undamaged--major storms encountered at sea. Whether you are on a 4-hour sail (a la Gilligan's Island) or crossing oceans, the weather can and will change. Lin and Larry Pardey are veterans of offshore sailing, having built and sailed their two boats, Seraffyn and Taleisin, over 150,000 miles in virtually every weather condition you will ever encounter.
Not only do they cover techniques such as heaving-to, the correct deployment and use of para-anchors, and the choice and use of storm sails (tri-sails, staysails), they also detail the best methods of testing and perfecting your equipment ahead of time so that you will be confident and ready for any condition you encounter. You will feel better about casting off for adventure armed with the knowledge and skills they teach--and so will your crew.
I cannot recommend anything more highly than the Pardey's "Storm Tactics" DVD and newly updated "Storm Tactics Handbook." Don't leave home without having prepared properly; and if you have not studied and applied their universal (for monohull sailing craft) techniques well ahead of your departure then you really are not fully prepared. It will be the best money you will ever have spent on sailing.
