Lets say somehow you managed to get smack dead in the center of this
eye. What course would you plot? Why? My guess is that both Loco and Scotty would quickly head straight down. RB |

Lets say somehow you managed to get smack dead in the center of this eye. What course would you plot? Why? I think it is a lot more interesting what to do not to get there - both in the sense of avoiding the hurricane at all and in the sense of minimising the dangers if you cant. Don't get into the dangerous quadrant. If caught in the eye: I think I would sail full speed toward SW while in the eye - if possible. (I assume the hurricane moves toward ENE). This should increase my chances of getting or staying south of the track later on. When the wind increases again, there probably won't be much of a choice, since immediate survival will be the priority, but ideal course would be ESE or SE. Peter S/Y Anicula |

However we know the storm was going strait over Bermuda and Cuba. If you had a fast enough boat and lots of luck you could follow the eye to harbor, of follow it along until it loses some strength before heading SW. Woulden't that be something?

The diagram in your link is showing a hurricane moving North, the one
in Joe's link has been moving WNW. The dangerous quadrant of this hurricane is not NE but NNW of the eye. Please get your basics right. The dangerous quadrant is the one on the hurricanes "starboard bow" (north of equator). It is defined in relation to the direction of the hurricane and not to the compass. The diagram and the text in your link is misleading. Peter S/Y Anicula "John Cairns" skrev i en meddelelse m...

John wrote another story about Carl, it's a pretty good story, he managed to
rescue another sailor in distress before they both went down. Can't recall the title, it's at the SailNet site. Oh, something I almost forgot, Carl actually was responsible for saving someone's life, but you'll have to read the story to find out how. John Cairns "Joe" wrote in message om...

Joe,
What sails would you use to get out of a Hurricane traveling West at 8 mph with a boat with hull speed of 7mph by sailing SW? Ole Thom |
