I am used to heavy boats and have found this discussion enlightening. I'll have to change some of my ways when the new boat comes. This is what I've learned so far:

1. Trailer should have four cradles (old Nacra trailer had front cradles and rollers in the rear) to better distribute weight.
2. Tie downs on trailer and beach are a must. Old Nacra didn't need many tie downs, its weight was sufficient (for weekends, b/w races, etc.).
3. Mast must be secured, once again never did this with the Nacra and standard mast design

Besides these points, what more should I pay closer attention to? Most of these differences are due to weight and/or upgraded components?

Does anyone have a handle on a Blade boat cover? I have local resources, but it would require them to create the pattern from scratch.
