This is a highly practical handbook from Alan Watts, the renowned meteorology author, on a subject only lightly touched upon in other books. Here he helps seafarers of all types (dinghy sailors, yacht racers, big boat cruisers, etc) to capitalize on when the seabreeze will occur and from what direction. He explains the relevance of: time of day, sea/land temperature, local topography (bays, cliffs, headlands, etc), pressure systems and their effect on the arrival and duration of seabreezes. Illustrated with photographs, wind charts and checklists, this is the book that will help sailors to use the wind efficiently, whether to cruise or race successfully.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books.
