From what I've been reading, plus the heavy weather sailing video by Mark Schrader and the one by Rousmaniere, it seems that passive storm tactics are much more suitable for older style, full-keeled boats, while running with the storm looks like the safest tactic on modern fin-keel boats. Except that running with the storm is terribly tiring. So what is one to do in boat with a small crew, say a couple? What do you do, steer for an hour, then switch, go down below and rest as much as you can for an hour, and so on?
