Two "old salts" I met, highly recommend "Catamaran racing for the 90s" by Rick white. It's in the Hobie Catalog. I haven't got one yet, but plan to get it and read it over the winter months. 8)

I realy liked "Catamaran Sailing" by Phil Berman. Also in teh Hobie catalog. I had been sailing for about 2 years before I read this book. My cat sailing was much improved afterwords. I orginally read a book about monohulls to teach myself to sail. All the beginers tricks were in Berman's book that I had not yet figured out.
