Hi!

I am switching beams between a Nacra 5.5 18sq and a Nacra 6.0. The 6.0 will be widened to 3.3m while the 5.5 will be narrowed to 2.6 m in this process.

The plan is to use the 18 sq mast on the 5.5 together with the bridlefoil of the 6.0 and to add a jib.

I want to order a set of new rigging from Murray and the first question is if the 5.5 18 sq mast is identical with the standard nacra 5.5 mast (in terms of lenght and height of the hounds fitting etc.)?

The 3.3m wide Nacra 6.0 will be sailed singlehanded and with the standard 6.0 mast but without jib in future.

My sailmaker is asking for measurements for this mast.
If anyone ever measured this mast (and maybe even bending curve) that would be from great help as both boats are still in a container right now an will arrive only in a few weeks.

So any help in sharing knowledge is highly appreciated!

Thanks!
