 Worthwhile Purchase December 4, 2005
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
While I agree to certain extent with the other reviewers, you would have to purchase many magazines and other types of literature to collect this much model specific multihull sailboat information. This book used in conjuction with multihulldynamics.com can be a great resource in comparing one mulithull to another regarding performance and stability.
 Superficial - An infomercial in book form June 17, 2004
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
This book touches very superficially on the standard topics found in books on sailing and seamanship. In fact, the first 115 pages appear to have been taken from the introductory paragraphs of chapters from other books and given the authors list that is probably the case. The information is so superficial it is not educational. At the end of each text chapter an individual or a business is recommended to the reader for further help in that area. The next section of this book is advertising that includes color pictures of boats and accessories, information that is readily found in sailing magazines. The final section that starts at page 128 and goes to page 471 is a two page per boat general information and specifications that are clearly provided by the manufacturer. No effort is made to evaluate or categorized any boat for its appropriate use, i.e. inland water, coastal or blue water use, but are all categorized as a `cruising' multihull. This book is essentially a $21 catalog or directory of multihull boats. It is an infomercial in book form.
 There are better books for your $$ October 14, 2003

This book was a disappointment. See A.Amatori's 21 March 2003 review - I concur with it completely. Wish I would have read that review before purchasing.On the plus side, it does provide an overview of many of the currently produced multihulls in case you want basic info. Far better books are Chris White's "The Cruising Multihull" and Charles Kanter's "Cruising in Catamarans".
 The Cruising Multihill / Sailors' Multihull Guide August 30, 2003
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I purchased these two books together and would not do so again as they cover pretty much the same ground.A major section of "Sailor's Multihull Guide" is taken up with description of a large number of new and expensive sailboats. For my needs this is pointless. I find "The Cruising Multihull" to be the more useful of the two books.
 More Than A Reference Book May 20, 2003

"Sailor's Multihull Guide is rather more than simply a reference book or index - it will guide the prospective
buyer or new sailor through every step on the way to reaching their dreams, even throwing in a few chapters on basic sailing and handling techniques." SAILING/SA
