Summary: The Cruising Multihull
Review: This book is up-to date with most aspects of cruising multihulls, is well researched and written. Possibly one of the best works written on the subject. CATAMRANS OFFSHORE,Gregor Tarjan's new book, which will be published in 2004, will connect where Mr. White has left off.

Summary: This Book is OUT-OF-DATE!!!
Review: WHAT A FARCE!! We are actively in the market for a sailing catamaran to live-aboard while blue water cruising, and we attend every boat show possible. After reading positive reviews of THE CRUISING MULTIHULL by Chris White, we ordered it. Much to our chagrin, the original copyright date is 1990, and LATEST is 1997!! Anyone who keeps up with the changing designs and technology of cruising catamarans knows that any of these boats that are over 5 years old are as obsolete as a 486 computer!
If all you want to learn about multihulls is the basic differences between them and monohulls, then the 2-stars we gave this review may make it worth about half the price.
However, the information in this book is USELESS to anyone looking to buy a new or even recent model multihull. Hey Chris... either get up to date on the new boats & revise your book, or take this dinosaur off the market!
