The 2-up sailing world has progressed a little since the Nacra 6.0 designs, my friend. Comparing an A-class to this Nacra 6.0 is like comparing a turn of the millenium lotus Elise to a 60's mustang.

I wouldn't sail a heavy two-up F18 or Tornado like a resort or rental boat. And I most certainly won't call 2-up boats like the Spitfire and F16's heavy.

If anything, it will be most fair to compare a modern A-class (like year bim 2000) to one of these modern 2-up cats rather then the aging Nacra 6.0.
