“Undoubtedly,” writes Alan Watts, “knowledge of the wind is the most neglected part of the spectrum of sailing knowledge.”
The perfect companion to the bestselling Instant Weather Forecasting, this handy guide's easily accessible format and revolutionary presentation has further cemented Watts' reputation as the layman's meteorologist.
Instant Wind Forecasting is a quick reference guide for anyone who works or plays outdoors – sailors, powerboaters, fisherman, farmers, pilots, etc. Since most outdoor ball games depend on the wind, this book will even help outdoor sportsmen make meaningful predictions as to how the wind will behave based on the look of the sky and the feel of the day.
“…a quick, handy guide to what you should expect during your day on the water.” —Soundings
“…helps weather watchers read the skies…” —Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
