Handling Small Boats in Heavy Weather by Frank Robb. 4th impression 1973. H/C. 133 pp.

When running for harbour is not an option.

How to behave in a small boat when shelter is an impossibility, when you're in the middle of a storm and miles from anywhere. For example, in a howling gale, is it best to shove on regardless, trail warps, use a sea anchor, of just heave to? The author, unafraid of hitting hard at some time-honoured theories, analyses and explains the preparation and techniques of living through Force 10.
