This episode we learn key elements the skipper of a vessel in heavy weather should keep in mind, to keep his vessel sound & her crew safe. Capt. Illingworth was a submarine commander in WWII as well as a racing skipper, and therefore had a better measure than most as to the thoughts uppermost in a skipper's mind in heavy conditions.
I hope my communication of his ideas into this new medium does not distract too much from his message.
If you would like to join me for many more deep dives on topic's...

Solo, on an 80ft yacht in the North Atlantic. '
After voyaging from Canada to the UK with a separate crew, CSM sailed the 80ft Gran Mistral 'Weddell'', single-handedly from Southampton to Reykjavik, Iceland.
There he met a new crew. After sail repairs, provisioning and safety training, they set sail for St. John's, Newfoundland; 1700Nm away.
It was September and heavy weather was expected. What we got was a 'Super Storm'.

Mariner's Library Podcast: #254 | 'The Southseaman' | Weston Martyr | Part 3
After reading so many sailing books from the past 120 years I am starting to recognize certain authors who I had never heard of before starting the Mariner's Library who were giants within the sailing community a life time ago.
One of the most commonly referenced authors from the first half of the 20th century has to be Weston Martyr, and the book everyone compliments is 'The Southseaman'.
