OK we have the price of the boards now nailed down, in writing, and explored the where with all of their build quality, by the way the price Macca is quoting seems a bargain to me considering the speciality and the numbers that will be sold.

Lets move on now and explore the pros and cons of the boards, not just with the Nacra 20 but in a more general terms for all future boats, as one thing is for certain, the marketing hype of C boards in production boats is just too high not to be used again and again to launch new models. Like em or not be convinced by them, we are going to have to live with them in the future.

Lets start the ball rolling with many peoples view that the foil has to be balanced in just the optimum angle of attack to gain best speed benefit, now that optimum AOA on a boat as short as 20ft is going to be difficult for the average sailor, shorten it further to say a 16ft boat and is that going to be ubber difficult.

On the other hand when things are right, the boat in theory will be faster, one only has to look at the Moths to convince ourselves of that.

Come on folks lets discuss this logically and without bias, it may come up with some really interesting open forum discussion.
