Multihull Seamanship - A A-Z of skills for catamarans & trimarans / cruising & racing

This is an A-Z of seamanship skills for multihull sailors. It is about sea-going catamarans and trimarans and the skills needed to understand and enjoy them to their utmost. Both racing and cruising yachts are catered for, as are trailer-able multihulls.

Seamanship is not a black and white skill. It is an evolution of knowledge; a building of information through experiment, thought and experience. There is no definitive word on an evolving skill.
"Multihull Seamanship" started as Dr Gavin Le Sueur's personal index of `how-to's.
It has grown through experience and others sharing their knowledge. It should be on the book shelf of every catamaran and trimaran.
This book is for people who are already multihull sailors, or for those who are contemplating multihull sailing.
It has served this community for over 20 years and this second edition is fully updated. It is illustrated with delightful line drawings by Nigel Allison.

Jollen - Die wichtigsten Klassen

Besonders bei Segeleinsteigern und Jugendlichen sind die kleinen, offenen Segelboote mit flachem Unterwasserschiff, ausgestattet mit einem Schwert anstelle eines Kiels, sehr beliebt.
Oftmals werden sie als Segelschulboote verwendet und hauptsächlich in Binnengewässern gesegelt.

Darüber hinaus sind mit sogenannten Wanderjollen jedoch durchaus auch Mehrtagestörns möglich, und für Rennjollen werden Regatten auf unterschiedlichen Niveaus bis hin zu den olympischen Bootsklassen veranstaltet.

Dieser Typenkompass vermittelt im handlichen Format einen Überblick über die einzelnen Jollentypen und die gängigen Bootsklassen.
