In the history of sailing there has never been a more exciting time than now. Building materials have continually improved and new technologies have opened up a myriad of opportunities for innovative thinkers. About 6,000 years ago when ancient Polynesian cultures first ventured into the unknown vastness, the prospects of safe return were grim. Today, with the amassed knowledge of shipbuilding, sailors enjoy both the traditional school of thought and technological advances. The modern catamaran represents one of the best examples of innovation on the water. It is fast, light and nimble, yet seaworthy enough to handle extreme oceanic conditions. This is the “Golden Age of Sail” for those who have discovered multihull sailboats and can recognize those built for quality from others built of cheap materials. As the old saying goes,”First there were wooden boats and iron men, then there were iron boats and wooden men, and now there are just a bunch of plastic boats and boys.” Whether on land or at sea, one thing is for sure, people are not made of the same stuff as in the old days. The following passage from the Ocean Almanac lends good evidence to this fact,“While they were sailing west, Viking navigators would release ravens into the air. If the birds flew back on the same course, the Viking boats would continue their westward course, but if the birds flew in any other direction, the Vikings would follow them to new lands and new conquests.” -Robert Hendrickson GREENHORN FORWARD AFT SAILING “For whatever we lose, it's always ourselves we find in the sea.” - E.E.
