Where's the meat?
I purchased this tape with the hope of learning more about heavy weather sailing. Sadly, this tape came up short. It might be of interest to begining sailors to know to rig Jack lines and how important the harness is and to keep plenty of duct tape onboard but I was looking for real usefull information, I am still looking.

A good overview of storm tactics but not complete
This 55 minute vieo (1987) covers the basics of heavy weather sailing. It includes boat and crew preparation, how to use jacklines and typical storm tactics. The heavy weather drills are actually carried out at sea to add a sense of realism. However the video does not cover all known storm tactics and should not be thought of as a comprehensive review but rather a sampling of options. I recommend this video to sailors who want to see a sampling of heavy weather, but not as replacement for extensive reading and research.

Good movie on active heavy weather sailing tactics
Shows lots of comentary on preparation and active tactics. A little bit light on actual demonstration of tactics. Better than other movies on the subject though. Michaelson
