Product Information
There are several well documented options for storm weather survival such as heaving to, lying a hull or running off. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer as there are so many variables involved. Some of these include individual boat-handling characteristics, vessel size, position relative to land, sea-state, wind direction relative to desired destination etc. With this is in mind, you may want to consider keeping more than one option on board to cover varying circumstances. This kind of planning is essential for anybody considering long journeys at sea where bad weather is unavoidable due to distance from shelter.
