Have a look for the results on the above page. Pictures are not available unfortunately but maybe will follow. The French crew convincingly over the other boats and proves that the Nacra F17 sloop is a real quick and perfect Nacra. In the big 104 test that was held in February 2008 Voile & Voiliers ( Biggest French magazine) already called the Nacra F17 sloop the best boat of all the 104 types. Great news we thought that we like to share with you!

Now the big question remains, Will the 104 class grow bigger the next five years and will the targeted public recognize the potential of this concept. These boats are made for crews between 110 kgs and 140 kgs which are to light for F18 boats to really compete! We think that this class is complementary to the F18 and is not steeling any potential customers from it! So if you are try to decide between a F18 or 104 and you weigh between 110 kgs and 140 kgs? Just get the Nacra F17 Sloop!

F17 question
1)If I removed the jib from a F17 sloop would it be a class legal F17? or are F17 & F17 sloops going to be one class?
