"Packed with dramatic colour phots throughout, Heavy Weather Powerboating is a useful resource for strategies, techniques and experiences in heavy weather." www.sailers.co.uk, (May 2010)
This ground-breaking new book is the powerboating equivalent to Heavy Weather Sailing – the classic and bestselling reference on the Adlard Coles Nautical list.
Edited by Hugo Montgomery-Swan and endorsed by Bear Grylls, contributors include leading powerboating names, from world champions and endurance record breakers to designers, instructors and RNLI coxwains. Like Heavy Weather Sailing, it includes chapters on the theory of dealing with rough seas and shares the hard-won experience of experts in their field, leaders in their class, or simply ordinary powerboaters who found themselves unexpectedly faced with extreme weather, and survived to pass on the lessons they learned.
Among other topics, Heavy Weather Powerboating looks at offshore adventuring, high-speed helming techniques, operating in the surf and surviving terrifying phenomena such as black holes and rogue waves.
Packed with dramatic colour photos throughout, Heavy Weather Powerboating is the authoritative and ultimate resource for strategies, techniques and experiences in heavy weather.
Hugo Montgomery-Swan is the Editor of RIB Magazine. He has gathered together contributions from an amazing collection of speed and endurance record breakers, RNLI coxwains, powerboat instructors and world powerboating champions for this ground-breaking book. This A-list line-up presents an unparalleled body of expertise.
Heavy Weather Powerboating is an exceptional book written by exceptional people. This is one 'bible' which should be read by any self-respecting power boater, then berthed on the bookshelf for sober regular reference. (Kevin Goulding, Editor, Hot RIBs On Line Magazine. )
