DESCRIPTION:
Larry in Lafayette said Essential but deeply flawed. When it comes to multihulls, you won't find anyone more passionate, more knowledgable, more connected than Gregor Tarjan. All of that comes through in Catamarans: Tomorrow's Superyachts. If you are interested in large multihulls, and certainly if you plan to hire a naval architect and build one, this is a "must have" book. Tarjan's passion is consistent and contagious.

Interviews with well-known designers and builders give insight into the evolution and design of modern performance catamarans, while input from seasoned skippers and racers of these boats provide further appreciation for the big cats. (Latitudes & Attitudes)Aeroyacht founder, mastermind behind the super-catamaran Aeroyacht 110 and all-around multihull guru, Gregor Tarjan, has produced this survey of high-end catamrans 65-feet and larger. Catamarans: Tomorrow's Superyachts discusses the future of multihull luxury yachts, what's required to build one and important considerations on choosing and sailing a cat, from aesthetics to seaworthiness.
