A compendium of true stories of storm survival at sea from the 1960s onwards, collected together for the first time in one volume by solo sailing legend Pete Goss. In 1967 renowned yachtsman K Adlard Coles published a ground-breaking collection of extraordinary first-hand accounts of sailors experiencing the worst the sea could throw at them and surviving: they included capsizes, Force 12 gales, waterspouts and 100ft waves. Each new edition of his book (which became the classic Heavy Weather Sailing) included new stories, leaving in its wake a unique archive of compelling accounts of survival, just as relevant today as they were 50 years ago. In this new book, Pete Goss MBE (sailing legend, adventurer and author of Close to the Wind) and Martin Thomas (the current editor of Heavy Weather Sailing) bring together the very best of these accounts: they show how to cope when everything goes wrong, and how to improve your chances of making it through the other side. They are as practical as they are hair-raising, with added commentary explaining survival techniques that require knowledge and confidence as much as experience. Into the Storm is the perfect read for anyone drawn to the most extreme ocean conditions, the incredible tenacity of the skippers and crew, and the lessons they learned in the eye of the storm.
A former Royal Marine, legendary sailor and best-selling author of Close to the Wind, Pete Goss is perhaps best known for his heroic rescue in horrendous conditions of a fellow competitor in the 1996/7 Vendee Globe round the world yacht race. Martin Thomas is the former Commodore of the Ocean Cruising Club, and currently the Vice-Commodore of the Royal London Yacht Club. He is the author of Reeds Storm Handbook, Reeds First Aid Handbook and the editor of Adlard Coles' Heavy Weather Sailing.
