I read this book a couple times before embarking on multiple offshore voyages in the Pacific. Having implemented the tactic recommend by the authors, the parachute and bridle system, I have to warn sailors from relying on it. The ocean can present life threatening situations where the system will fail. Chaotic seas can arise where heaving-to consistently on a single tack is impossible, where no amount of tweaking or adjusting will prevent the bow from being slapped through the wind every so I read this book a couple times before embarking on multiple offshore voyages in the Pacific. Having implemented the tactic recommend by the authors, the parachute and bridle system, I have to warn sailors from relying on it. The ocean can present life threatening situations where the system will fail. Chaotic seas can arise where heaving-to consistently on a single tack is impossible, where no amount of tweaking or adjusting will prevent the bow from being slapped through the wind every so often. If this happens while hanging off a bridle like the Pardey's advocate, the bridle can become tangled in the rudder (ask me how I know). Instead of this book, I would recommend new sailors form their storm tactics around the advice offered by Hal Roth or John Vigor. Next time I find myself in dangerous seas, instead of the Pardey parachute off the bow with bridle system, my tactic of last resort will be a Jordan series drogue off the stern. It is a more robust method, tested extensively by the US Coast Guard and confirmed effective. The Pardey's do mention the Jordan series drogue though they prefer their system because the series drogue is said to be hard to collect after seas subside. I'll take hard to collect over not working when it matters most. There are schemes using a block and windlass or winch to help bring in the drogue. Even if one cuts it loose after, if it saves vessel and crew, it's a grand well spent. ...moreOct 12, 2012
The Pardeys are legends in the sailing community because they have been everywhere, done everything and have sound advice for sailors. We read this book before we sailed through the "spin cycle" between New Zealand and Fiji - and thankfully didn't need to implement any of their tactics. I think that is because we were ready, with our sea anchor at arm's length and having practised heaving-to before we left. Thank you Lin and Larry!Jan 11, 2010
An excellent book for anyone who thinks they might find themselves on a sailboat in a storm. If so, read this book to learn how to heave-to in a storm. If not, never mind.Jun 21, 2019
