Year: 1974 Language: English Author: Andrews J. Genre: Manual Publisher: Hollis and Carter Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 232 Description: This is a book for anyone whose dream it is to buy or hire a cruising catamaran. It is packed with detailed information about virtually every British cruising cat on the market. After comparing the advantages offered by catamarans and monohulls, it discusses different makes of catamaran, assesses hull construction and balance, sail plans, aboveand below-deck accommodation, handling characteristics (with and without engine) and investigates the safety aspects of catamaran sailing. The question of capsizing is thoroughly covered: it is very difficult to capsize a catamaran, the author finds, unless it is excessively overcanvassed — indeed its stability and ease of handling make it kind on its crew and an ideal boat for family sailing. There is scarcely a question about the choice and handling of a cruising catamaran which is not answered in these pages. The text is supplemented by thirty plans and diagrams.
