The human spirit needs adventure. Nothing can compare with the exhilaration
and freedom of getting out on the water. Unfortunately many people miss out.
They feel justifiably nervous, insecure, and uncomfortable on the conventional
tilting, lurching, and wallowing monohull sailboat.
All this disappears on a catamaran. Once you experience the difference, you will know this is the best way to go. You will enjoy:
- Comfortable, relaxing, and “level” sailing (no more stowing the coffee cups)
- Exploring otherwise inaccessible beaches, coves, and islands
- Fabulous snorkeling and swimming
- Visiting exotic ports of call and pristine wilderness
- Stunning sunsets in secluded anchorages
- Close encounters with dolphins, turtles, bald eagles, puffins, Orcas, manta rays, and otters
We
cover all aspects of catamaran sailing:
- Advantages
- Differences with traditional sailboats
- How to get started?
- All types: beach, day sailors, cruising, racing, and mega yachts
- Where are the ultimate destinations?
- Secret, catamaran-only anchorages
- Where and how to charter? Bareboat or
crewed?
- Should I buy? Used or new?
- Can I build my own?
- Specific equipment considerations
- Special sailing techniques and strategies
- Upgrade projects like screechers
and hardtops
- Sailing schools and instruction
- Book and cruising guide reviews
- Cruising adventure stories
from people who are out sailing
- And much more!
We sailed for six years on our first boat, Wave Dancer, a conventional
sailboat, and had many wonderful experiences. We have now had almost seven fantastic
years on our sailing cat, Light Wave, and we could never go back.
We sincerely hope that the information, research, and first-hand experiences
we share with you on this web site help you to realize it is now your time
for a catamaran sailing adventure.
Sincerely,
Garett and Carllie on Light Wave
