Here is some of my research on the Nacra 17 (USA)
length is 17’ 5”
width of 8’ 2.5”
mast height 28’ 9”
main sail area of 160 sq. ft.
spinnaker 15.5 sq. m.
The Nacra F17 seems to be only sold in North America, with the carbon spar from Southern Spars of New Zealand. This model is also the most popular
carbon mast 30’ 4”
Main sail is 170 sq. ft
Spinnaker 15.5 sq. m.
Spinnaker 18 sq. m. ( Class Racing Crew 230lbs & Up)
Mid pole snuffing system
Both Nacra models were built as a true single handed cat, not to be confused with the Australian N17, which is a 17’ design as a sloop. There’s a nifty jib option for the 17
But not legal for class racing.

Main sail is 170 sq. ft
Spinnaker 19 sq. m.

Mid pole snuffing system
