By Hugo Montgomery-Swan
From Baird Maritime:
Adlard Coles book "Heavy Weather Sailing" has gone through many editions to become the unchallenged "Bible" of rough water sailing.
It is not surprising, therefore, that the same publisher has produced a matching volume offering the same kinds of advice to powerboat operators. As with so many Adlard Coles offerings, this is equally appropriate to both commercial and leisure operators.
Hugo Montgomery-Swan is the compiler/editor and a contributor to some of the many fine essays that comprise this book. It must be pointed out, though, that he has been supported by more than twenty other renowned powerboat driving experts.
Importantly, while the words of advice, ideas and experiences so clearly explained in the essays are very valuable, the book is replete with numerous high quality photographs.
A timely, high quality and very valuable new publication that the late Adlard Coles would undoubtedly be proud of.
