Case for the Cruising Trimaran

Multihull Pioneer Jim Brown Makes the Case for Cruising Trimarans With Personal Stories, Compelling Facts & Wide-Ranging Insight

This classic book about cruising trimarans is now back in print!

Well-known multihull designer Jim Brown offers his unique experiences and insight into the design factors that make for safe, seaworthy, comfortable trimarans.

He blends personal stories with technical information about these fast vessels, and shows why multihull yacht pioneers in the 20th century were sometimes referred to as the "Hells Angels of the Sea."

This book contains a wealth of information about cruising yachts, meaning cabin cruisers, but even small boat multihull lovers will enjoy this book. There is something in it for prospective owners of luxury boats, used boats, or anyone who wants to take any multihull offshore.

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 techniques for how a small, capsized vessel can be self-righted. For bigger multihulls that have overturned, Jim offers time-less advice on the best approaches for recovery in order to repair it.

This book is fully illustrated with original black and white photos and humorous illustrations by Jo Hudson. 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.
