Any one have a good suggestion on a good book on how to setup and sail a cat. All of the books i have found are very general. I need lots of pictures.....

thanks

hard to believe there is nothing out there....

I think it may be tough to find one "definitive" book or article on how to set up a cat, since there is such a huge diversity of beachcats.

Single sail, sloop, spin, daggars, etc. Most manufacturers probably post assembly, general tuning, and other information for their specific models which would be the best starting point.

As for sailing the cats, check the Catsailor store. I believe there are several books on catsailing worthy of your attention.

I think catamaran sailing for the 90's has a whole section on sailing the Nacra 5.8. I don't remember whether they go much into rig tuning.
