We made a first sailing with a brand new nacra 580 under the autumn sunshine. as compared with nacra 5.2 that is previous boat that we had, nacra 580 seems to be much more exciting in terms of the speed, responce against wind as well as rudder work, and so forth.
Looks like a great boat:
The trapeze attach point, the bare metal rings, smash into my teeth, The first thing I always do is replace them with the coated rings.
The Skipper looks a little nervous, can you get him to give you the mainsheet?
Thanks to the Dagger boards, I'm guessing this boat flies a hull in about 8kts to 9kts of wind, is this true?
Have you tested the kick up dagger boards yet?
