Product Description
Product Description
Stuart Walker has sailed in more than 6000 races around the world. This book brings together his years of sailing experience and knowledge of meteorology to provide a straightforward explanation of why wind behaves as it does and what it is likely to do next. The book first describes each aspect of wind behaviour in context, then explains what principles determined the wind's behaviour, using meteorological research, instrumented observations and studies of computer models. The book aims to enable sailors from novices to experts to understand and harness the wind.
