    MULTIHULL SEAMANSHIP, An A - Z of Skills for Catamarans and Trimarans, for Cruising and Racing .
    By Gavin LeSueur. Pbk, 210mm x 300mm, 144 pages, monochrome drawings.
    There are many textbooks on the market which detail general seamanship principles - and this is not one of them! Multihull Seamanship is specifically about catamarans and trimarans and the skills needed to understand and enjoy them to heir utmost. Both racing and cruising yachts are covered, and also trailerable multihulls.
    Seamanship is not a black and white skill. It is an evolution of knowledge through experience and learning from others, and it is intensely situational in application.
    This book is drawn from the author's personal index of "how-to's". It has grown through experience and from the input of others. It will be a most useful asset to anyone sailing or contemplating ownership of a multihull yacht.
