About this title

About the Author

Alan Watts, one-time professional meteorologist, has spent considerable time studying wind changes and short-term alterations in the weather. This, combined with his enthusiasm for sailing which began with the sea scouts, led to his first book. He is also the author of Instant Wind Forecasting and The Weather Handbook both published by Adlard Coles Nautical.
