I concur with your comments on the Nacra 5.7. It is a fun, safe cat that I can set up in about 30 minutes from trailer to water. I am a newbie to sailing and cats, but the boat is fast.

I am 6’2”, 230lbs and could not right the catamaran without another body on the hiking strap. That being said, the 5.7 is so buoyant (specifically in the hulls), I don’t think you can knock it over unless you are trying to or are really not paying attention.
