Wouter - you have been right all the time. Please find in the following my conversation with Jan de Boer, I guess that ends this discussion.
Mr Seeman,
The new Nacra Inter 17 is better in weigt than the older one
I mean 1999 and 2000 and 2001 boats ,there weigt was round 152 kg
Now the boats ar 137 kg and 138 kg out of the box.
And Sven Lindstad knows out the brochure that the boot weigt 140 kg
Now they do !!

Subject: NACRA F17
Dear Sirs,
some weeks ago, you advertised on your website a used NACRA Inter 17. I
phoned concerning this offer but had to learn that the boat was already
sold. The friendly gentleman on the phone apologized but suggested to
consider a new F17 since the 2006 model would be considerable lighter
than the current model - he guessed around 10 to 15kg, bringing down
the weight of the new F17 to 125-130kg.
This reduced weight is a very important subject to me since I am
sailing alone from time to time and handling the boat on the beach by
my own is a difficult task ...
I contacted my local dealer, Sven Lindstädt, concerning the new F17,
but he denied any changes on the current model and confirmed the data
for the 2006-model as follows:
Main 15,5 qm
Jib 3,5 qm
Spi 19 qm
Size 5,25m x 2,50m
Weight 140 kg
Mast 8,60m
It is obvious that I am confused. I am certainly in the position to
afford a new boat, but only would buy if the weight comes closer to the
competitors of it.
You are the european importer of NACRA and I would kindly ask you to
clarify this situation. I am pretty sure that I didn't misunderstand
the gentleman on the phone - so if you could verify this subject, I'd
appreciate it.
Thanks for your efforts in advance and best regards,
Kai Seemann
