Interesting that the result was so decisive. Nacra 17 the first choice of 14 out of 18 sailors. And a one piece mast is being recommended.

Also interesting that the hulls for the top three boats are all built in the same factory - Composite Marine in Thailand.

All righty then, let's all run out and get a new Nacra 17!

So, what's it gonna cost?

More, or less, than the F18??

Comments on the Hobie 16:

"Difficult to sail"

"Not challenging enough"

How do you spell o-x-y-m-o-r-o-n???

Looks like the Nacra 17 is the most expensive option except for the Marstrom Tornado. 16,750 Euro for the first 100 boats or until Oct 31, whichever is earlier. Thereafter 19,000 Euro.

New Nacra marketing tool. Look how well it worked on the F-20c.

seriously though- spreading the marketing and R+D over more boats should theoretically bring the price down right? what is the thought process behind the price increase?
this is stupid. Not a fan of Nacra in general though.
