Nacra has been pretending they were the first to use resin infusion for their beach cats for a while now. They are most definately not.

An interesting detail is that more and more sources are claiming the the other builders have dropped building using this method, and it is now said that Nacra has stopped doing it with the A2 as well. Problems concerning proper wetting out of remote area's. Other builders are finding they can produced better quality boats with the old technology then with the resin infusion proces. So that took care of the claimed advantages of resin infusion. It seems to work for thicker, heavier and more low tech laminates found on cruisers and powerboats but not on lightweight thin laminate racing beach catamarans.
