I receied a mail on the launch of a Nacra F16, but was not able to see any specs on its weight, is this a true F16? Any pricing info available?

Sorry if this is a re-post:

Looking at the dagger-boards the leading edge tappers toward the tip. This is counter intuitive to me, where in the old days the leading edge was straight. Any thoughts?

Fashion is a a great thing

Straight trailing edges are less likely to get damaged in the case.

Anyone order one yet?

anyone even seen one live?

Anyone heard of how much they are supposed to cost?

I heard there are 4 or 5 going to Minnesota.

Just in time for Ice Boating Season!

Karl, strap it on, they're coming for you!

Oh I doubt there's any coming to minnesota. No nacra dealer here, and not much market for it here either, (which is flat out kiss!ng strange as we have more shoreline than any other state in the lower 48).

puddles don't count

There's a lot of water here.

The ice in your rummies doesn't count.

It is the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" after all.

Great for duck hunting and walleye fishing!

Oh, and ice hockey! Eh?


Go you Golder Gophers!

Cool sail number in that video.

Where is Karl???? Don't watch. Your head may explode!!! They are doing it again. Double trap with spin!!!! LOL

I've never seen anyone do it with a Goodall mast, down boy!

I did it with a goodall mast last weekend 2 days in a row and have done it several times previously. The mast has never been an issue. And I have done this with anywhere from 125 kgs to 155 or so kgs.
