We actually have 24 Nacra 5.8's competing, and have completed 6 races in two sessions in two days from 10.30 am to back on the beach about 2pm, wind has been mid teens, with some holes in it and with gusts to about 20kts, then windier in the arvo. Lay day tomorrow, then we are racing in the arvo's with a forecast of 20kts plus gusts for the last 3 days. All 24 of the 5.8's competing have the square top sail, the course has a gate at the bottom, opening some opportunities to make and lose ground. I tried to post pics but haven't been able to work out how to resize and that sort of stuff on a mobile phone, for those on Facebook the NSW Nacra association site has photos and results for all classes. There are Nacra 3.5, 4.5, F15, 16 square, 17, Infusion and 5.8 racing, it's amazing how well the young kids are going on the F15 and how well a Nacra 4.5 goes with two adult males on it. Happy New Year
