The Sailor's Wind

Sailors from novices to experts will treasure this simple yet authoritative guide to the winds. Stuart Walker's intelligent, straightforward explanation of why wind behaves as it does and what it is likely to do next draws upon his sixty-plus years of sailing experience and his vast knowledge of meteorology. The Sailor's Wind first describes each aspect of wind behavior in contextâ€”challenging readers to analyze wind flow as though they were experiencing it on the waterâ€”then explains what principles determined the wind's behavior, using recent meteorological research, instrumented observations, and studies of computer models. This book enables sailors not only to understand the wind but also to harness it. .
