The NACRA 5.0 is 16 feet long and sails quite nicely. It is a bit underpowered for Southern California but if you live in an area where the wind blows hard, then the 5.0 NACRA would be an excellent choice. The NACRA is very safe as well. Just like the other boats in the NACRA line the 5.0 is boomless and therefor safer for the operator and crew than boats with booms. Please note that any 16 foot boat will be much more fun if your combined sailing crew weight is less than 280 lb.. If you plan to sail at a much higher crew weight than that then read on.
