I'll try the N5.2 first to see if that works for me, if that proves too daunting (or I can't find one that isn't bent, soft or full of holes)


I don't think there are any nacra 5.2 in NL that are younger then 15 years. Most are from the 80's even, about 20 years old. While I owned and sailed a 25 year old boat myself alot I feel that finding such old boats in relatively good condition is rare. Therefor I think finding yourself a decent 5.2 in NL is setting a high goal, just because you want to have daggerboards.

I haven't seen a nacra 5.2 in years.

If I can find a used F16 at a reasonable price (daunting task, the second hand market is fairly limited !) my 5.2 could be up for sale. Old but complete and working, was last summer club champion (Only other serious competitor was a dart 18 <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. It is 20odd years old, but works just fine. It's in the UK however, an hour drive from the channel tunnel.

I need to upgrade to something I can use to compete against the F16s <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Heck, if anybody wants a ride on a 5.2, and you are around London, just drop me a PM.
