I was re-reading Adlard Cole's "Heavy Weather Sailing" last night about
the various ways of handling extreme weather such as lying ahull,
heaving to, running under bare poles, streaming warps, sea anchor etc.
All of this  of course, is dependent upon a number of variable factors,
one of which is the characteristics of the particular boat.  Does anyone
have any personal experiences or know of any experiences of extreme
weather, i.e., steady 40 knots plus, Beaufort 9, with an Alberg and how
it was handled?
