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 isn’t 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) &amp; 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 &amp; 21S Trimarans ... The Windrider 16, 17 &amp; Rave (Hydrofoil) Trimarans ... The Weta Beach Trimaran… The Wa'apa &amp; Tamanu Small Trimaran Sailing Canoes ... The Fast 17, A18T, A21, Cardiff 21 &amp; Z65 Small Trimarans ... The Seaclipper 10 &amp; 16 Trimarans … The Scarab Small Trimaran Models ... The Discovery 20 Small Trimaran... The Warren 23' &amp; 27' Small Trimarans ... The L7, Multi 23 &amp; Beach Tri 22 Small Trimarans ... The KH 16', Spitfire 20' &amp; 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. It’ll 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.

Answers Fundamental Questions about Faith: "Is faith contrary to reason?" "How can we know for sure that God exists?" "Aren’t Christians who appeal to the Bible to justify their beliefs reasoning in a circle?" "Must we presuppose natural origins for this world?" "Doesn’t the theory of evolution prove the Bible to be wrong?" "Doesn’t the presence of evil in this world disprove the existence of an all-powerful and loving God?" "Do all religions lead to God?" Every belief system contains truth-claims. These truth-claims represent fundamental beliefs about God, man and the cosmos. Such beliefs are at the heart of every one's belief system. FAITH WITH REASON is an introduction to the Christian worldview. Author Joseph Farinaccio contrasts the truth-claims of biblical Christianity with other prominent views of Reality taught in the world today. He examines the nature of religious belief, the relationship between faith and reason, and then discusses the uniqueness of the Christian view of Reality. This book is a valuable resource that may be turned to again and again by readers who really want to understand what is being expressed in both religious and secular belief systems. FAITH WITH REASON is a concise, tightly focused apologetic for the Christian faith that highlights many of the key issues and subjects that will constantly surface in discussions regarding the validity of Christianity’s truth-claims. It serves as a basic primer for both Christians and non-Christians alike to better understand why biblical Christianity is a faith and philosophy of life unlike any other.

Multihull Pioneer Jim Brown Makes the Case for Cruising Trimarans With Personal Stories, Compelling Facts &amp; Wide-Ranging Insight This classic book about cruising trimarans is now back in print! Well-known trimaran designer Jim Brown offers his unique experiences and insight into the design factors that make for safe, seaworthy, comfortable trimarans. Jim is always entertaining in his writing, and this book is no exception. He blends personal stories with technical information about these fast vessels, and shows why multihull pioneers in the 20th century were sometimes referred to as the "Hells Angels of the Sea." Much of the book is dedicated to the subject of "capsizing," and offers timeless wisdom on how it can be prevented. There is even a chapter about "self-rescue," and a technique for how a capsized vessel can be righted. This book is fully illustrated with original black and white photos and humorous illustrations by Jo Hudson. Multihullers in general (and trimaran lovers in particular) will discover Jim Brown's sailing philosophy and walk away with a thorough understanding of the features and benefits offered in well-designed and properly handled cruising trimarans.

The Case for the Cruising Trimaran

Brown, Jim

Here is Part 1 of the Historic Nautical Life-Journey Of Multihull Pioneer Jim Brown Thrill to this genuine 20th century saga, complete with incredible stories and historical insights from a masterful "multihull storyteller” ... A young schooner bum, thrilled by the ways of a windjammer, resolves to acquire his own boat and follow the sea in search of pals and gals and utopian freedom. It is the mid 1950s, he is in his early twenties, and while building his own boat he rather suddenly finds himself to be a family man. Undeterred, he and his bride, now five and a half months pregnant, sail out through the Golden Gate in an experimental contraption and turn left for Mexico. They don't know it at the time, and they wouldn't have cared, but their tiny boat is the first three-hulled watercraft to go to sea in modern times. Soon the author becomes an unintended "instant expert" in what would become, fifty years later, an absolute sea change in marine architecture. This work in two volumes tells of those fifty years, of the people, the boats, the foibles and the fables, the history and lore that - despite a sometimes fierce resistance from the Corinthian community - comprise the origins of today's modern catamarans, trimarans and proas. Told as the memoir of a septuagenarian sea dog whose failing eyesight causes him to "see" his memories, Jim Brown recounts the multihull milestones of the 1950s to the 70s (Volume One) and the 1970s into the new millennium (Volume Two). He highlights the pivotal multihull pioneers, and relates the controversial advent and eventual ascendance of multihulls today, with their implications for tomorrow. However, this rich nautical heritage runs as but a thread through the fabric of how the multihull phenomenon shapes the lives of the writer and his family and friends. His obsession is fulfilled in ways far different from his youthful promise to himself.

Among The Multihulls: Volume One

Brown, Jim Wesley

Enjoy Part 2 of the Historic Saga &amp; Nautical Life-Journey Of Multihull Designer Jim Brown Embracing his role of “cockpit storyteller,” Jim Brown continues sharing how “multihulls happened to him” so we’ll have these tales for ourselves and future generations of multihullers In this second volume ... the Brown family “swallows the anchor” in the American South and suffers reverse culture shock. Sons Steven and Russell go on to build their own boats and sail to faraway places. Wife Jo Anna expands her career helping children with learning difficulties. Jim becomes a global “Johnny Appleseed” -- spreading his practical know-how knowledge of modern trimarans, catamarans and proas. And the Browns enjoys some spectacular multihull crusing experiences to boot. Travel with Jim as he helps indigenous peoples in Africa, the Philippines and the Pacific Islands create modern workboats to try and solve their economic challenges. Sail with him to exotic and beautiful locals … from Canada to Cuba. And meet unforgettable (and sometimes downright incredible) sailors, adventurers, friends, indigenous peoples, various eklectic folks and assorted characters along the way. Truly remarkable tales from an amazing life among boats -- especially multihulls. After finishing certain portions of this book you’ll probably find yourself saying, “Wow … you’re never gonna believe what I just read,” to anybody who will listen! Jim Brown is easily one of the most celebrated figures in the 20th century's modern multihull movement. And after reading this first volume of this memoir, you'll feel like you've come to know the man in the same way you know a personal friend. Many memoirs are meant to embellish the “life work” of the author, which often means playing loose with the truth about the past, being selective about what “facts” to include (and which ones to bury) and producing an endless amount of “positive spin” meant to always put the writer in a positive light. Not so with this memoir. If anything, Jim Brown tries hard to separate facts from fiction, and offers a deeply personal account that includes notable mistakes (both career and personal) in the midst of many great moments throughout his life. For this reason alone, his memoir is destined to forever endear him to its readers ... including you!
