Here is some of my research on the Nacra F17
The boat is sold in North America, maybe special ordered in Europe, but there are no class legal F17s as yet.
Class Page
The Nacra F17 seems to be only sold in North America, with the carbon spar from Southern Spars of New Zealand.
carbon mast 30’ 4”
Main sail is 170 sq. ft
Spinnaker 15.5 sq. m.
Spinnaker 18 sq. m. ( Class Racing Crew 230lbs & Up)
Wgt. 320lbs. (Traverse City, MI. Digital scales 2005 boat complete)
Mid pole snuffing system

Both Nacra models (N17 and F17 were built as a true single handed cat, not to be confused with the Australian N17, that is a 17’ design as a sloop to replace the 5.2. There’s a nifty jib option for the North American 17s
But not legal for class racing.
