Reviews

“An indispensable, solid foundation which takes you from your first trip on board a cat to competing at a serious level… This tremendous book presents both Tom and Brian’s enormous knowledge of catamaran sailing, and the industry as a whole, as well as conveying their passion for and dedication to the sport. If you want to enjoy catamaran sailing, and improve your skills, I thoroughly recommend this book.” (Santiago Lange, catamaran gold medallist) “an excellent primer for those who are new or nearly new to the sport and will probably have a few lessons for those who count themselves as more experienced… it can be highly recommended to those looking for some help with their small cat sailing.” (Yachts & Yachting)
