"Undoubtedly," writes Alan Watts, "knowledge of the wind is the most neglected part of the spectrum of sailing knowledge." This book is the perfect companion to Alan Watt's "Instant Weather Forecasting", which is a worldwide bestseller. Its easily accessible format and revolutionary presentation has established Alan Watts' reputation as a layman's meteorologist. "Instant Wind Forecasting" is a quick reference guide for all who work or play outdoors whether dinghy, coastal or offshore sailors, fishing or motorboat owners, farmers or pilots.
