hi all,
as a newbie beachcat owner with an old nacra 5.2 i'm interested in what replaced it and why?

i've done a bit of net research and come up with 3 possible reasons and would now like to ask you experienced sailiors your thoughts

a) simple business decision. it was an old boat, past it's prime and people stopped buying them in large enough numbers to keep it in production

b) it was replaced by the better? inter 17 which offered more efficient hulls for racing, a carbon mast and a spin

c) as it was nacra's 1st boat it was pretty much designed to be a do anything beachcat.
as the nacra range broadened to include smaller more recreational boats, like the 4.5 and 5.0, and bigger faster crewed racing boats, like the 5.8, nacra didn't really need a 13 year old middleweight anymore but there was nothing really wrong with it that a spin package wouldn't have fixed
