Customer Reviews

Thanks Rod...

The Cruising Catamaran Advantage is a must read for anyone, first interested in sailing or a seasoned captain. This book is a objective look into the pros AND cons to a "Cat" and also touches on building and construction. I would like to see a modern revision, but for the times (1988) this book IS hi-tech and fun to read.

Discussion of Cruising Catamaran superiority by enthusiast

This is a well written, enthusiastic book by an experienced sailor. Rod Gibbons believes fervently in the superiority of the Catamaran design versus a ballasted monohull, and he proves his case with humour and passion. Expect to obtain a comprehensive overview about the Catamaran design, ranging from prehistory to current construction techniques. This is a book you will read again and again.
