Sir William Petty's catamaran
Kieran Healy has a short posting (based on his reading of Pepys' diary) on 17th Century proto-economist William Petty's experiments with catamarans, here "Funding Basic Research ". Healy links to sites with writings by and about Petty. While Healy's post is short, he does link to a longer Petty catamaran post (use his "double-bottomed boat" link).
