An exerpt from an e-mail I received from Cathouse....

New Nacra Project, Nacra is launching in 2010 a new cat. Project code name F20... This is going to get interesting! One of the major goal of this boat is “going to be line honors” I'll try to keep you informed as design details and development progresses. This new boat will not be replacing the existing Nacra 20 One-Design!!

Anybody have the inside scoop?

I heard the same thing, but didn't see it in print.

if it's a 20 footer and it succeeds in scoring line honors all the time, I think it would probably replace current 20 footers sort of like the N20/I20 did to the N6.0... ?

Depends on how much the new ride costs. The M20 and Eagle aren't exactly storming the 20 foot market.

Those kinds of boats were built to win the Tybee 500 and other big distance races.

When the Tybee decided that one design was the future of the race... those boats have no reason to be raced in the states.

A boat built for "line honors" .... presumes that you have some distance races that you want to go out and win.

If the big one is off the table... does winning the steeple chase merit buying a hot 20 footer.

Quick.... anyone remember the line honors winner from last years Statue Race?

The GT300 has an open class and the Overall Trophy is up for grabs every year to the fastest production boat.

I talked to Jack at perf. cat today and it seemed that it's still in the idea phase( he had alot of "maybes"), but it's targeted to Europe and it'll be wide and fast and supposed to be more affordable than an M-20.
Take that for what it's worth.

Not if it's 10 or 12 feet wide.

Didnt Trey win the statue race last year on the N20?

Not last year - it was like 2007.

Also - this boat won't be price competitive with the N20 so we shouldn't have anything to fear.

If you took a Tornado and made it 8'6" wide, what effect would that have on it's sailing abilities, and how would it then compare to the benchmark, I20? I would love to see a true F20 class, if there are a whole lot of T's around with no place to go, rather than scrap them, why not just change out the beams and go racing against the I20's, boat for boat? OR, are the T's too light? What do they weigh?

The numbers are so close, on the West Coast, we raced heads up (N20 v Tornado). When the wind was light this seemed ok but when the wind piped up, the difference was pretty big in favor of the Tornado.

Course record for the statue race is held by an N20 as well.
