I have read
This thread and I wonder how many that have contributed have taken the time to read "Storm Tactics" by Pardy, or "Heavy Weather Sailing " by Adlard Coles. Or "Seaworthyness - The Forgotten Factor" by C.A. Marchaj. I have read many opinions here, some by people that have survived storms and many by people that have not experienced heavy storm conditions. It has been fun reading but not very educational.Ross in Bel Air
