Some time ago in one of the forum discussions on the Internet there was a
reference to an old book called "The Case for the Cruising Trimaran" by Jim
Brown. This classic book is now back in print. Since this book was first
published in 1979 I thought it would be much too old fashioned, nothing for me.
However, when reading the author's preface to this third edition I thought it is
maybe worth to have a look at it and the price for the paperback is very
reasonable so I ordered a copy at Amazone. How wrong one can be! This is a must read for every multihull aficionado and certainly the one with serious off shore ambitions. Jim Brown blends personal stories with technical information about these fast vessels, and shows why multihull pioneers in the 20th century were sometimes referred to as the "Hells Angels of the Sea" and their boats called "Anti-yachts". Much of the book is dedicated to the subject of "capsizing," and offers timeless wisdom on how it can be prevented. There is even a chapter about "self-rescue," and a technique for how a capsized vessel can be righted. Multihullers in general (and trimaran lovers in particular) will discover Jim Brown's sailing philosophy and walk away with a thorough understanding of the features and benefits offered in well-designed and properly handled cruising trimarans. I've read this book in one breath. Highly recommended! |
