Thanks to the recommendation to one of the Catsailor Forum members, I got our Nacra 5.8na rebuilt in a 1:24 model. Love the results--the model is extremely well-detailed. (I hope that attaching a picture works..)
Whaddaya all think?

could this be the ultimate "rubber duck" for in the bath tub? If you could train a couple of mice to trapeze that would be cool <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Looking good

Amazing! You should consider to make a radiocontrolled, compared to what you've done, the servo part is nothing (and you can find everything on ebay). (If you are interested, a trimaran might be a better choice, they are easier to tack and harder to capsize).

The model was built totally from scratch-the hulls are made of wood, the mast and crossbars from aluminum, the sails & trapeze from fabric. All the tiny blocks, trapez handles etc. were made from hand.
Measurements were taken from a real Nacra 5.8na.

That is spectacular..... I would love to have that on my desk during those bleak winter months in New England. But I'm sure I wouldn't like the cost of having one made!!!
Thanks for showing us. Greg
