Reply to: Deformed Main going downwind

[quote=philzy]Catamaran Sailing: From Start To Finish (By Phil Berman) is a good one. I got a copy on ebay for $14 and read it in about 2 days. It basicalyl states that a catamarans SLOWEST point of sail is directly down wind - so don't do it unless you're just trying to relax and tidy things up. But gybing at an angle downwind is much quicker, fills the sails the way they are supposed to work, and you'll be learning/feeling more about how your boat sails. I went from keelboats to my cat, this book (probably any catamaran-specific book) will explain how the fully-battened catamaran sails are also trimmed differently then monohull sails. It's a lot of very usefull information. Kalaniwavo where do you sail?[/quote]
