The Cruising Multihull

The Cruising Multihull

Chris White

Long typecast as the hotrods of the sea--fast but dangerous--modern cruising multihulls actually are among the safest and most comfortable cruising sailboats available. The Cruising Multihull supplies the reader with all the latest information about design, construction, rigs, seamanship, safety, and a point-by-point rebuttal of the ``accepted wisdom'' concerning multihull dangers.
