"The Dashews, through the first-person accounts of sailors who not only survived but dealt actively and successfully with a wide variety of storms and rough-weather situations, have put together an in-depth and long-needed examination of storm tactics and heavy-weather gear for modern boats."

"This is surely the finest, most complete, authoritative and, above all, most human among the guides to the serious side of ocean voyaging and local cruising. The Dashews share knowledge they have collected over years of sailing and designing their own yachts, and every bit of it will enhance our safety and enjoyment aboard. My hat is off to the authors for a great accomplishment."Jack Somer, Editor, Yachting Magazine
