Has anyone here that sails deepwater not read "Heavy Weather Sailing" by
Adlard Coles?

If so, you should search the used book web sites and stores until you turn
up a copy.

Looks like you can get the 1975 revised edition by Coles on Amazon for
$6.98. Lots available.
I think the major revision was done in 1999 by Peter Bruce. This shows a
price of $125.
Steve Dashew also has a book on storm tactics. Fairly expensive as well , I
think.

Wow! What size boat comes in the box with the book?

Hey, if they can afford boat parts and Sospenders, they can afford to pay
$125 for a $10 book, right?

Yes, I thought it was rather pricey as well.
Funny thing though, the Amazon listing seems to show a price of $72 as well
so perhaps there is an error here.

Thought my version was newer, but it's the Fourth Edition, 1992. Bought it
at West Marine back in '94 (don't know why I was thinking it was newer, but
there ya go) for 39.95.
