Storm Tactics Handbook: Modern Methods of Heaving-to for Survival in Extreme Conditions

I hope this book gets into many hands. I really believe it will save some lives. Surely it will result in cruising sailors going through gales at sea in a lot more comfort and with a lot more confidence. (Roger C Taylor, Author, Elements of Seamanship, 1995) Whether you have an offshore cruiser or an inshore day boat, this is a volume that makes compulsive and compulsory reading. One day it might even save your vessel or your life. (Paul Gelder, Yachting Monthly, 1996) Covers storm management on small and large boats, boats of traditional and modern design. Storm Tactics was just what I needed. (Pat Henry, SAIL Magazine, 1996) Proper storm management is not just sending maydays. How many voyagers can really heave-to, set a sea anchor, or set storm sails? The Pardeys tell you how and why to do it. (John Kettlewell, Ocean Navigator, 1996) .....will cause you to think in a more positive way about dealing with heavy weather, consequently increasing your confidence. (W M Nixon, Yachting World, 1997) What the Pardeys have to say on the art of storm survival will no doubt stimulate much-needed debate. What they succeed in serving up is an outstanding five-course meal for the brain. (Don Long, 48 Degrees North, 1996) Definitely worth a read - none of us wants to get caught out in storm conditions, but it can only help to have other peoples experiences to fall back on when it finally does happen. (Editor, The Shetland Times, 1996) What the Pardeys commend is supported by extensive evidence from their own and others experiences. The result is indeed a handbook of storm tactics which is likely to become a classic contribution to seagoing safety. (Denny M. Desoutter, Practical Boat Owner, 1996) We all hope never to meet that ultimate storm, but if we sail long enough offshore we probably will. Read Storm Tactics Handbook first. (Anne Hammick, Ocean Cruising Club, England, 1996) Should be compulsory reading for all who venture offshore. Buy it, read it, use it. (George Taylor, Editor, Practical Boat Owner, 1996)

The Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew

Including stories from paradise and hard-won lessons in seamanship,Taleisin s Tales reflects back to the first miles Lin and Larry Pardey gained together on their second boat one they built lovingly with teak carvel planking over sawn black locust frames. The book begins with the boat launch and the transition from their cherished Seraffyn, and includes details from outfitting, provisioning and final detailing during the early months Lin and Larry spent getting to know their new bluewater cruiser, as well as moments of melancholy as they let go of attachments to their first trusty boat that took them around the world. The story takes the reader through those initial cautious 1000 coastal miles between California and the Sea of Cortez, discussing everything from sail handling to dinghy racing to the relative luxuries of bicycles and a custom-built sitztub. It reveals surprising and pleasant engagements with other sailors and locals along the Baja peninsula. Then it launches the reader across the Pacific, sailing with the Pardeys on Taleisin s first offshore leg to French Polynesia, through the Cook Islands and Tonga, then on to New Zealand, where they eventually made their new home. In the style readers have come to know through the Pardeys ever popular Cruising in Seraffyn series and Lin s award winning Bull Canyon, this book relates stories sometimes harrowing, sometimes cautionary, sometimes hilarious and often heart-warming, especially when it comes to encounters with the people of the South Pacific who become family. If there is a lesson to be gained from reading Taleisin s Tales, it s that slowing the pace and taking each day as it comes brings unexpected moments of clarity and joy. And that sailing across an ocean on a small boat is not easy but, with the right partner and attitude, can be beautifully rewarding. Taleisin s Tales takes the reader from Bull Canyon, California, to Kawau Island, New Zealand, where, after 28 years of voyaging on Taleisin, Lin and Larry now spend their time running a small nautical publishing company and managing a very small boatyard, puttering about on their fifteen-foot Herreshoff sloop and reflecting on their five decades of bluewater cruising.
