Today I like to share a book (170 pages) which was published by the author himself (as ebook) nine years ago in summer 2006.
LIGHT BRIGADE – the New Zealand school of Yacht design (subtitle: light displacement + multihull yacht evolution in the Southern Antipodes - 19th to 21st century)
As the title promises it gives a detailled view into the
history of Kiwi design. - I appreciate it to known the author
Gary Baigent (Auckland / New Zealand). He designed, built and sailed interesting trimarans, too. E.g. ...
Trimaran Groucho Marx (11x11 meter)
Tri
Flash Harry (6x6 meters)
foiling Tri
SID (6.5 (l) x 7 (w) meters)
Gary is a very informatively sailor with experiences of more than four decades and a communicatively
boat builder, with a deep knowledge about many types of multihulls (catamarans same as trimarans).
