Combining how-to manual, buyer’s guide and coffee-table ‘dream book’, this volume covers every aspect of cruising catamarans from the technical details to the
luxurious, relaxed lifestyle. The author reviews basic concepts of multihull design, construction and performance, discusses the latest catamaran developments and examines multihull seamanship and how it differs from sailing a monohull. He outlines desirable attributes of multihulls, explains what to look for when buying and presents a catalogue of noteworthy production boats.
Illustrated with both photographs and floor plans. This gorgeously illustrated book is the perfect introduction to the possibilities of these exciting sailing machines and an invaluable owner’s guide.
