Cruising - Sail - PDQ Yachts 36 Capella Owner's Manual

If you are new to multihulls or to cruising, learn as much as you can, from books,
courses or experienced people. If you live in the USA or Canada, find your local Power
Squadron, who offer excellent courses on every aspect of navigation and seamanship
for sail and power. Your local community college or correspondence courses may be a
good source of knowledge. We also suggest:
Multihulls Magazine and Power of Multihulls
421 Hancock Street,
Quincy, MA, USA, 02171
Telephone: (617) 328-8181

The Cruising Catamaran Advantage

The Cruising Multihull

In addition to the many multihull books, there are many books that are relevant to any
cruiser. Find and read as many as you can since these notes are only intended to
highlight a few points. Best of all, get out with experienced owners whenever you can.
Additional information on rig setup for your PDQ (which is different from monohull
setup) is found in section 3-4.
