StormTactics DVD Preview

"One of the reasons I wanted to sail east-to-west around Cape Horn was to take video shots proving that small vessels can safely weather storms if they are well outfitted and efficiently handled," Larry Pardey stated after his record-breaking voyage. Lin and Larry completed their against-the-wind rounding of the Great Southern Capes on board their engineless 29-foot Taleisin earlier this year, weathering nine days of storm-force winds to reach Puerto Montt in Chile. There they interviewed several high-latitude voyagers, prepared the narrative, and shot further detailed footage to complete the Storm Tactics video, a project Lin and Larry conceived almost ten years ago.

I made 2 round trips from Punta Arenas to Plamer station in Dec 1969 to March 1970 on a 310 foot Icebreaker. Hurricane force winds and 5 to 10 feet of foam on top of the waves. Unbelievable conditions for any boat.
