GV811 .C635Description
The worldwide trend toward multihulled sailing craft in their various forms has created a new type of yachtsman, one who is not only a pacemaker in evolving new and different ways to achieve comfort and speed under sail but also one who proves his skill on the high seas or in racing competition.
Captain Cotter, a yachtsman of broad nautical experience, has brought together in this unusual book the views and experiences of other multihull sailors around the globe, both catamaran and trimaran experts. Designers explain their concepts; builders describe the trials and tribulations of putting a boat together; ocean sailors chart their voyages and tell of their navigational experiences; racing champions detail their winning tactics.
Catamaran complications, full-length batten control, handling a cruising trimaran in heavy seas and in a typhoon, the joys of just plain cruising and family life aboard, and the thrills of high-speed competition are just a few of the subjects discussed. All types of catamarans and trimarans, from the smallest one-man "bathing suit" models to the large oceangoing cruisers, are included, as well as a section on organized multihull classes around the world. More than 160 dramatic and "how-to" illustrations supplement the text.
Here is an exciting and helpful book that will answer many vital questions for every skipper and crew member interested in this newest development in boating today: catamarans and trimarans.
