Produktinformationen zu „The Seabreeze Handbook (PDF)“
Seabreezes are the lifeblood of cruising and racing sailors - but they
are a fickle resource and it's vital to be able to predict and read the
situations when they will blow strongly, change direction (annoyingly)
or vanish altogether.
This is a highly practical handbook from Alan Watts, the renowned
meteorology author, on a subject only lightly touched upon in other
books. Here he helps seafarers of all types (dinghy sailors, yacht
racers, big boat cruisers, etc) to capitalise on when the seabreeze will
occur and from what direction. He will explain the relevance of:
- Time of day
- Sea/land temperature
- Local topography (bays, cliffs, headlands, etc)
- Pressure systems and their effect on the arrival and duration of seabreezes
Illustrated with photos, wind charts, box-outs, checklists, and tips and
hints, this is the book that will help sailors to use the wind
efficiently, whether to cruise or race successfully.

Autoren-Porträt von Alan Watts
Alan Watts, one-time professional meteorologist, spent considerable time studying wind changes and short-term alterations in the weather. This, combined with his enthusiasm for sailing which began with the sea scouts, enabled him to assist people to read the weather from the signs in the sky. He died in May 2020.
