The Complete Guide for Cruising Sailors

Combining how-to manual, buyer's guide and coffee-table 'dream book', "Catamarans" 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.
