Catamaran Upwind Performance - Woods Interview # 7

We spoke with Richard Woods, a catamaran designer and sailor based in the UK and famous worldwide. Today, we are talking about pointing and whether or not catamarans can point because there's a myth about catamarans and their inability to point. Having sailed around the world on one of Richard's designs, I can let you know that we pointed, probably better than a lot of the monohulls we were with. We've been having a series of conversations about elements of catamarans that you might not think about. We've had quite a few great conversations, so feel free to look through our Woods Design Advice page. You can read more about Richard Woods on his website www.SailingCatamarans.com and purchase build plans for many different designs.
