For over 50 years Heavy Weather Sailing has been regarded as the ultimate international authority on surviving storms at sea aboard sailing and motor vessels.In this book, former Commodore of the Ocean Cruising Club Martin Thomas brings together a wealth of expert advice from many of the great sailors of the present, including fresh accounts of yachts overtaken by extreme weather, from Ewan Southby-Tailyour, Alex Whitworth and Dag Pike to Larry and Lin Pardey, Matt Sheahan and Andrew Claughton.The expert advice section has been updated in line with current thinking, with major new additions tackling preventing or coping with lightning strikes, navigating in heavy weather with both paper and electronic charts, the choice and use of tenders in severe weather, and special problems faced by the new generation of foiled cruising boats. For the first time the book also covers the unique challenges presented by weather in high latitudes, with more yachts crossing the Drake Passage and attempting the North West Passage. These revisions ensure that Heavy Weather Sailing is as relevant, useful and instructive for today’s sailor venturing offshore as it ever was.This is the definitive book for crews of any size contemplating voyages out of sight of land anywhere in the world, whether racing or cruising. It gives a clear message regarding the preparations required, and the tactics to consider when it comes on to blow.

Wie kann man orkanartige Stürme auf See sicher überstehen? Welche Taktiken halten das Boot bei schwerem Wetter manövrierfähig, und wie sollte eine Yacht konstruiert und ausgerüstet sein, um Kentern vorzubeugen? Diese und viele weitere Fragen behandelt das bewährte Standardwerk "Schwerwettersegeln", das umfassend überarbeitet und erweitert wurde.Theorie und Praxis des SchwerwettersegelnsDer erste Teil des Buches widmet sich der Theorie der Bootskonstruktionen und -ausrüstungen. Es beleuchtet das Verhalten von Segel- und Motoryachten, Einrumpf- und Mehrrumpfbooten sowie Festrumpfschlauchbooten unter extremen Wetterbedingungen und stellt die geeigneten Schwerwettertaktiken vor. Die Eignung von Ausrüstungen wie Masten, Trysegeln, See- und Treibankern wird eingehend besprochen, und die neuesten Erkenntnisse und Entwicklungen werden vorgestellt.Im praktischen Teil bietet das Buch wertvolle Methoden und Tipps zum sicheren Abwettern starker und orkanartiger Stürme. Durch die Analyse konkreter Berichte zu Schwerwettereignissen vermittelt der Autor praxisnahe Ratschläge für jeden Segler.• Umfassende Theoriekapitel: Erklärt das Verhalten verschiedener Bootstypen und stellt passende technische Ausrüstungen für schweres Wetter vor.• Praktische Handlungsempfehlungen: Bietet Strategien und Tipps basierend auf realen Schwerwettererfahrungen und Regattaerfolgen.• Aktualisierte Inhalte: Mit neuen Erkenntnissen und Entwicklungen aus der Welt des Schwerwettersegelns, diese Ausgabe wurde umfassend überarbeitet und ergänzt.Ob erfahrener Segler oder Einsteiger, "Schwerwettersegeln" ist der unverzichtbare Leitfaden, um auf alle Eventualitäten eines Törns vorbereitet zu sein und sicher durch stürmische Gewässer zu navigieren. Nutzen Sie das Wissen dieses Klassikers, um Stürme sicher zu meistern und von den Erfahrungen eines der besten Skipper der Welt zu profitieren.

Los métodos estadísticos son una parte fundamental de la ciencia de datos, pero pocos científicos de datos tienen una formación avanzada en estadística. Los cursos y libros sobre estadística básica rara vez tratan el tema desde la perspectiva de la ciencia de datos. La segunda edición de este libro incluye ejemplos detallados de Python, ofrece una orientación práctica sobre la aplicación de los métodos estadísticos a la ciencia de datos, te indica cómo evitar su uso incorrecto y te aconseja sobre lo que es y lo que no es importante.Muchos recursos de la ciencia de datos incorporan métodos estadísticos, pero carecen de una perspectiva estadística más profunda. Si estás familiarizado con los lenguajes de programación R o Python y tienes algún conocimiento de estadística, este libro suple esas carencias de una forma práctica, accesible y clara.Con este libro aprenderás:Por qué el análisis exploratorio de datos es un paso preliminar clave en la ciencia de datosCómo el muestreo aleatorio puede reducir el sesgo y ofrecer un conjunto de datos de mayor calidad, incluso con Big DataCómo los principios del diseño experimental ofrecen respuestas definitivas a preguntasCómo utilizar la regresión para estimar resultados y detectar anomalíasTécnicas de clasificación esenciales para predecir a qué categorías pertenece un registroMétodos estadísticos de aprendizaje automático que "aprenden" a partir de los datosMétodos de aprendizaje no supervisados para extraer significado de datos sin etiquetarPeter Bruce es el fundador del Institute for Statistics Education en Statistics.com.Andrew Bruce es científico investigador jefe en Amazon y tiene más de 30 años de experiencia en estadística y ciencia de datos.Peter Gedeck es científico de datos senior en Collaborative Drug Discovery, desarrolla algoritmos de aprendizaje automático para pronosticar propiedades de posibles futuros fármacos.

Statistical methods are a key part of data science, yet few data scientists have formal statistical training. Courses and books on basic statistics rarely cover the topic from a data science perspective. The third edition of this popular guide expands its practical foundations in R and Python into the modern AI toolkit, with new chapters on neural networks, deep learning, and large language models. Generative AI is integrated throughout, showing how tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini work, and how they can support real-world statistical workflows.This book highlights concepts that matter most when working with data, building predictive models, and deploying AI responsibly. If you're comfortable with R or Python and have had some exposure to basic statistics, this concise reference will boost your statistical literacy, your understanding of how AI works, and your confidence in real-world data science and AI projects.Conduct exploratory analysis of data to improve quality and model outcomesApply sampling and experimental design to reduce bias and answer questions with clarityUse regression to understand data-generating processes and detect anomaliesBuild predictive models using classification, clustering, and unsupervised learning with unbalanced data
