"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..."

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

I thought that was a great attempt by Wayne to change course here and get some real substance out of this discussion. Apparently mecca is not interested in that.


I can't speak for anyone else but the credibility of the NACRA 20 CF for me comes from the involvement of Morrelli & Melvin....(including Nate Shaver of their firm) in the design and engineering behind this boat...not mecca...

Maybe macca is not answering the questions because he doesn't have more than a superficial knowledge of what went into designing/engineering/and building these foils.

It would be great to get Morrelli/Melvin or Shaver on this forum to give us the real 411. Someone who can give real insight to the curved board debate and the science behind it.
