Bern, don't be too tough on the Nacra 14sq. I have sailed them quite a bit and never been beaten by anything else close to the class (there are over 14 feet long).

If anything, I have been up with the 16 fleet, but I am a little on the heavier side of the ledger

With a new main on them and a kite, they would be a sensational boat.

It is a pity that the Mystere is unavailable out here in Australia, as I sailed on in Canada a year or so ago and loved it.
