(from the dust jacket) This is a book for everyone who goes afloat and is at the mercy of the weather, in powered or sailing craft, from the smallest dinghy to the largest cruiser. It is written in simple everyday language and combines theory with practical information in a style that will be easily comprehended by all ages. No do-it-yourself forecast can ever be better than that of a professional meteorologist, who has access to information from all sorts of sources all over the world, but for local detail and emergency amendment, there is no substitute for the weather wisdom of the yachtsman himself. This book shows you how to use the information provided by the professionals as well as your own logical reasoning based on elementary physics - to give weather forecasting at its very best. The Author, Ingrid Holford became a weather forecaster for the WRAF in 1942, briefing aircrews in Training Command during the war. An avid sailor, the author has taken an active part in the running of the Thames Sailing Club at Surbiton and was its first woman secretary and later Rear Commodore of the club. She has contributed to many yachting journals and written four books on weather including The Guinness Book of Weather Facts and Feats, Interpreting the Weather and Bntish Weather Disasters.
