Description
Among The Multihulls Volume One tells the story of Jim Brown's journey as he builds his own boat and sets sail with his pregnant wife in search of freedom. In 1955, they embarked on an experimental voyage to Mexico, becoming one of the first three-hulled watercraft to go to sea in modern times.
This memoir recounts the multihull milestones of the 1950s to the 1970s, highlighting pivotal pioneers and the controversy surrounding their advent. Brown's account provides a unique insight into the history and lore of modern catamarans, trimarans, and proas.
