The World's Best Sailboats has become the most cherished and respected illustrated sailing book of all time. Its unique format includes over 400 spectacular color photographs by the world's leading nautical photographers coupled with astutely presented technical information on the best and most beautiful sailboats manufactured. Mate's insistence on uncompromising quality and his always engaging, entertaining style make this a timeless work and must-reading for anyone interested in sailboats. Its encyclopedic scope covering all aspects of sailboat design and construction, gleaned from personal visits to the world's best boatyards and interviews with the leading builders and designers, gives us not only a feast for the eyes and the stuff of dreams but also a thorough education. Mate visited the world's best boat builders from Finland to Italy, from Maine to California, and in his book evaluates and describes the sailboats of the nineteen best yards. The text is full of technical information on design and construction of available boats, while the magnificent color photos celebrate the beauty of sailboats and fine craftsmanship. His writing, as always is both informative and entertaining."

This is the Information Sailors and Prospective Boat Builders Want to Know About Today's Production and Homebuilt Small Trimarans. Imagine being able to sit down with experts for many of the new, most popular, and frequently sought after production or homebuilt small trimarans in the world today. Well, now you can

Are you ready for a behind-the-scenes look at some of your favorite small trimarans? This book includes the following information:

1) Newly published pictures and tips about these super fast, ultra-fun sailboats
2) What small trimaran might be best for you to buy or build
3) The challenges to building your own and (how to overcome them)
4) The purpose behind each featured design
5) What makes each sailboat unique compared to others in the market
6) How fast these boats go
7) How easy (or challenging) they are to sail
8) The biggest benefits associated with each boat
9) Unique insights and stories from designers

There isn't a lot of "technical" information within these pages. Some information might fit into a technical section (if one were included), but there isnt any because that wasn't a goal. It should be fairly easy to go on the Internet and uncover the technical data for any of these boats if you really want it. The simple goal of this particular work was to have those who are most knowledgeable discuss the stories and insights behind the sailboats they personally know -- in some cases, better than anyone else in the world.

The small trimarans featured in this book fall into 2 categories: Production Sailboats (which I also sometimes refer to as "commercial" or "commercially produced" boats) & Self-Built Sailboats. This is really the only "logical" arrangement of order. There is one exception -- the Trinado model. Featured boats include:

The Magnum 18, 21 & 21S Trimarans ...

The Windrider 16, 17 & Rave (Hydrofoil) Trimarans ...

The Weta Beach Trimaran]

The Wa'apa & Tamanu Small Trimaran Sailing Canoes ...

The Fast 17, A18T, A21, Cardiff 21 & Z65 Small Trimarans ...

The Seaclipper 10 & 16 Trimarans ]

The Scarab Small Trimaran Models ...

The Discovery 20 Small Trimaran...

The Warren 23' & 27' Small Trimarans ...

The L7, Multi 23 & Beach Tri 22 Small Trimarans ...

The KH 16', Spitfire 20' & KH 23' Small Trimarans...

The Trinado Trimaran...

The Tremolino Trimaran...

The K24T Small Cabin Cruiser Trimaran]

Plus -- An Interview about Wooden Boatbuilding with Chuck Leinweber (publisher of Duckworks Magazine).

Interviews featuring production models are in the front. And the small trimaran models most often "self-built" at home by a do-it-yourselfer follow. This order of arrangement isn't meant to convey some boats are "better" than others. Such assessment is purely subjective. Itll be shaped most often by what an individual wants in a boat at any given time. In my opinion, all of boats talked about in these pages are fun, fast and desirable.

""Always Another Horizon,"is well written and a delightful way to spend a winter's evening or a rainy day."
-"Santana Magazine"

Full of rich detail and intriguing insight, "Always Another Horizon: A Journey Around the World" tells the story of one couple's voyage around the globe.

For nearly eight years, author Tina Olton and her husband, Steve Salmon, sailed around the world on their forty-foot, ocean-going sailboat, "Another Horizon," In that time, they traveled 45,000 miles, visited sixty-one countries, and crossed three oceans as well as countless seas, canals, lakes, and rivers.

From Berkeley, California, the couple cast off their dock lines to head west through the Golden Gate. The whole world was before them-the ultimate traveler's dream. From the rich beauty of French Polynesia on Easter Sunday to the whitewashed beaches of Greece, Olton and Salmon embraced the world and its diversity.

But the voyage also forced the couple to examine the limits of their determination, their ability to endure hardship, their tolerance for other people-regardless of behavior or beliefs-and their good will toward each other. Olton and Salmon soon realized that the journey would have a profound impact on their lives-or bring them to their knees.

"Sailing is Fun - A Beginners Manual for Young Sailors" is written for kids. This book introduces basic terms, concepts and procedures which all new sailors need to understand, but does so in a "kid friendly" manner. The book also stresses water safety. It is the author's hope that once a child is properly introduced to the joys and thrills of sailing, a life-long passion will develop. In this modern 21st century world, there is a lot of "bad stuff" out there for kids to get into. Sailing is a great alternative. It's fast (or can be), it's fun, and it's green, totally green.

At forty, Mary South had a beautiful home, good friends, and a successful career in book publishing. But she couldn't help feeling that she was missing something intangible but essential. So she decided to go looking for it . . . at sea. Six months later she had quit her job, sold the house, and was living aboard a forty-foot, thirty-ton steel trawler she rechristened Bossanova. Despite her total lack of experience, South set out on her maiden voyage--a fifteen-hundred-mile odyssey from Florida to Maine--with her one-man, two-dog crew. But what began as the fulfillment of an idle wish became a crash course in navigating the complicated byways of the self.

"Bombing up" a Catalina flying boat. I was "promoted" to deck hand on bomb scow 34. During bad weather aircraft were towed into the shelter of the harbour mouth and moored to replenish depth charges. On one such occasion scow 34 was completing delivery of four charges under the instruction of two bomb armourers. As the charge was winched and secured to its rack under the aircraft's wing, the fusing device was connected. This looked like a large wire paper clip. When the charge was released, a plunger in the shape of a car piston and piston rod was left hanging under the wing on the end of the paper clip, the charge falling seaward fully armed. Moments before the last charge was secured in the rack it slipped off the winch wire onto the chest of an attendant armourer. The crew watched charge and armourer disappear over the side with a splash and became aware of the piston rattling loose overhead. They cringed for a few seconds awaiting the expected explosion beneath their feet.
