1.0 out of 5 stars To little to fast, 8 Jul 2003
By Rolf Magnus Nilsen - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The authors tries to cover to much in one small book. Consequently you dont have much to learn from this book unless you just have started sailing catamarans. But it is not a good book for beginners either.

4.0 out of 5 stars Catamaran Racing, 1 Jan 2005
This book proved helpful in many ways. First of all it focuses on trapezing, assembly and theory. Then in the latter parts it focuses on pushing the boat to its limit. This is done through setting your rig for all conditions and good race tactics. All in all, this is a good book. It loses a star for its vagueness. It is quite small. Good Book Though!!!!!!
