Description
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 first comprehensive book on cruising
cats in more than 10 years, Catamarans will be welcomed by anyone interested in owning or sailing one of these increasingly popular craft.
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.
