Multi-hull Seamanship is an authoritative
work on the management at sea of catamarans and trimarans,with much
original material,fully illustrated.
McMullen is himself an acknowledged expert
on racing and cruising multi-hulls,but has
also made use of the experience of other outstanding multi-hull seamen.An important
part of the book surveys recommendations for heavy weather,following analysis of multi-hull accidents.
There are also chapters of multi-hull basic seamanship,cruising and racing tactics.The author discusses design and construction comparisons,while,with many intriguing illustrations,he traces the history of multi-hull developments from Pacific Ocean beginnings.General Ralph Farrant has added an invaluable guide to the International Offshore Multi-hull rule,with extra details by Vic Stern.
Another appendix,by Gerry Boxall,displays
graphically the boundary of short-handed sailing performances,while Robin Knox-Johnson has written an influential foreword.
