It's called the Nacra 500 sport. And it's a fairly good boat. There is one at our club and I actually like the simplicity of it....


Hi Pepin:

Anything new on this boat? How does it do in club races?


I've raced one and they are very quick and lovely to sail, but are quite simplistic with a loose footed main and no rotation control. Proper rocket downwind in a bit of breeze
