Best Catamaran Books?

Assuming your talking about racing (this is not an attempt to glorify the site owner)

Catamaran Racing for the 90's

ala Rick White and Mary Wells has so much information that it can't possibly absorbed by a single reading. I've probably read it three times cover to cover and I keep finding new things every time.

Hello world,

Does Rick Whites' book cover wing masts like A classes or T 4.9 etc. As most books I've found in Aust, are written in the seventies and are about predominately H16's

Cheers

Guess I have to respond. No! Not precisely on wing masts, although you are not talking about wing masts either -- rather about a mast with a large major axis. And that is addressed quite deeply in

Catamaran Racing: For the 90s

My apologies to the

Thanks for listening,

I've read Rick's book twice now. It's great, but I had the incredible fortune to go to one of his Sailing seminars where he fills in the knowledge gaps, and answers the specific questions YOU have which might not be explained for each individual's boat or situation in the book. Was the best sailing instruction and experience anyone could dream of. Would have taken me 4 or 5 years to MAYBE get to the performance level I've achieved in the few months since his Seminar. Buy the book, or any other, but you can't learn to sail from a book and get nearly as much out of it as you can by attending one of the seminars. Thanks again Rick, has made all the difference.

Also, be sure to get AND USE Rick's

Sailing Drills

book. This will ramp up your experience and understanding way, way more than just reading about and trying it on an irregular basis.
