Thanks for the info everyone...I'm looking for a good resource which describes the nuances particular to a catamaran. ie. pointing into the wind, close reaches...etc. The catamaran is not a hobie 16 or the like, it is a 32 foot x 18 foot day sailer. Would the suggestions regarding Rick's material cover these types of vessels. I'm not exactly looking for performance, just all around sailing techniques concerning catamarans.
