The Case for the Cruising Trimaran by Jim Brown

Multihull Pioneer Jim Brown
Makes the Case for Cruising Trimarans
With Personal Stories, Compelling
Facts & Wide-Ranging Insight

This classic book about cruising trimarans is now back in print

Well-known trimaran designer Jim Brown offers his unique experiences and insight into the design factors that make for safe, seaworthy, comfortable trimarans.

Jim is always entertaining in his writing, and this book is no exception. He blends personal stories with technical information about these fast vessels, and shows why multihull pioneers in the 20th century were sometimes referred to as the Hells Angels of the Sea.

Much of the book is dedicated to the subject of capsizing, and offers timeless wisdom on how it can be prevented. There is even a chapter about self-rescue, and a technique for how a capsized vessel can be righted.

This book is fully illustrated with original black and white photos and humorous illustrations by Jo Hudson. Multihullers in general (and trimaran lovers in particular) will discover Jim Brown's sailing philosophy and walk away with a thorough understanding of the features and benefits offered in well-designed and properly handled cruising trimarans.
