Dashew S., Dashew L. Surviving the Storm: Coastal and Offshore Tactics

Beowulf, Inc. Tucson, Arizona, 1999. 675 p.There are many schools of thought on how vessel size relates to heavy weather. We can tell you with a high degree of certainty that a properly designed, well prepared small boat will do better in serious weather than a poorly designed, improperly set up large vessel. Many small yachts have done amazingly well in some very difficult conditions. But, all things being equal, the bigger the vessel, the better the chance it will have.Tasman test bed
