Read about a fascinating new book on:

One reviewer nicely summed it up:
…………many more reviews later — see below

"Greetings Joe,
Well done. Lots of good information in this book, and I found the book unique in subject matter and information style. The subject of small trimarans comes up often but it seems this style of boats hasn't ever quite come into its own. This book goes a long way in possibly adding some momentum toward that goal. I especially like the variety of people interviewed, with thoughts and stories from these people that I had not seen in print before."
—Lew Enns, Owner and builder of BlueMoon (Homebuilders rounded hull Tremolino —Dick Newick designer)

Imagine being able to sit down with experts for many of the new, most popular and frequently sought after production or home-built small trimarans in the world today. Well … now you can!

Small Trimarans: An Introduction
We are confident you'll find yourself enjoying many of the boat tips, peeking back at this book and its pictures … over and over again. If you already own a small tri, or are simply captivated with just the thought, then this resource is definitely a MUST READ for you.

To get this type of info about ANY of these particular sailboats, you'd have to personally reach each of these experts (as I did) … and spend hours asking numerous questions about their boats.
Or …you can simply own your own copy of Small Trimarans: An Introduction, because all the hard work has been done for you!

Please note: If you're looking for a lot of "technical information," or something that reads like a white paper, then this isn't the book for you. …. see Mike's Technical Report for that side of things.

This book IS very educational though, chock FULL of valuable info .. all 190 pages of it, but in a light style that is also a fun read … something you'll enjoy while soaking in the sun somewhere, dreaming of laying on a trampoline one day soon.

So, if you could trailer one of these super-fast, fun daysailers or camp-cruisers to a beautiful new sailing venue, which model would best suit your needs? Some will surely discover the sailboat they've always wanted inside these pages … perhaps it could be you !

In order to get independent readers opinion on how the book works for them, we sent out a few early copies for review. Here is what they wrote back ……

"At last...an easy to read book that sets out the small trimaran landscape in terms of boats, players, pitfalls and benefits. It has energized me into taking action and doing something to get on the water in one in 2009. Look Out London - I'm gonna give some of you smug monohull sailers a shock!"
—Mark Harrison, UK

"Joe has done small trimaran fans a huge favor by organizing in one place all of the best small trimarans available on our blue planet. Moreover, he interviewed designers and builders of yesterday and todays most successful trimarans making it easier for the home builder to get the job done and get out on the water. Thanks Joe!"
—David B.

"Many thanks for your book preview. Although 'one never stops learning', with the input from your book one can learn a lot quicker and a damm sight better!"
—Cheers, Llew Griffin, Wales, UK

"Small Trimarans" is a great little book about the joys of small trimarans. The people featured in the book are the most knowledgeable on the subject and an invaluable resource if you are thinking of buying or building a small trimaran. Their experiences are interesting and getting to know them through this book will help you as you make decisions about these wonderful sailboats."
—Joe Mengel

"As a current owner of a Windrider 17, and ex-owner of a Windrider 16, I found the Windrider section most enjoyable. The descriptions and implied uses of the boats were quite accurate and the historical aspect of the company was insightful. Great job!"
—Best Regards, Ray Henry

"Hi Joe, I started reading your book, very fine indeed …"
—Regards, Eric M.

With the cost of buying a boat or even a set of building plans rising all the time, it's even MORE important to make the right choice and being excited and confident about it. This book could well prove to be one of those valuable tools you need, in order to get to that important decision. After all, you don't want to regret your choice just because you did not do enough research!
Sure, there's some general publicity on the web … but the info in this book IS different and unique.
You'll hear directly from some experts … as they answer questions about these fast, exciting boats.

So now, how to get your own copy of "Small Trimarans: An Introduction"
Although Small Trimarans: An Introduction is listed on Amazon.com … you have the opportunity to purchase it directly HERE from the publisher, at a much lower price than what AMAZON must charge, because of their standard mark-up.
