Sailors' Library

Heavy Weather Sailing

On the 13th of March, Peter Bruce, the editor of Heavy Weather Sailing, passed away aged 83. The book he was most known for, in its 8th edition, is a perennial classic. A practical tomb of wisdom that many have drawn on at sea, but one best read at home before slipping lines. As legendary solo offshore racer Pete Goss says on the cover ‘if you buy one book, buy this one.’

Look out for a discussion on the wisdom of Heavy Weather Sailing on the Ocean Sailor Podcast soon, including a chance to win a copy.
