Hey all,

Had my '08 Infusion in storage for the last year (shame shame) when I went to pick it up it seems my box of rigging, line, and blocks have walked off. So I know what I need block-wise (no cheap way around that) but was wondering if you anyone has come across a spec sheet for the Nacra kit that came with the boat?

So far the best I've come across so far is MWR's setup page - http://www.microwindracing.com/boat.html

Trying to avoid just buying a couple huge spools and going for it, on the line side.

As for rigging, was considering going for dyform for standing rig.

Oh, and where the H do you get one of those S-hooks?

Thanks,
bread

Unfortunately there is no easy way to accomplish what you wish. I spent all summer re-rigging our 08' Infusion to be race ready (it was in good sailing condition beforehand). Mike and Tripp's site is a huge help, but three times I took measurements off their boat and others in person to get things sorted more accurately. Remember they post finished line lengths and some splices require quit a few feet of line.

Here is the official Nacra parts manual: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ubk0tju883hpxko/Nacra%20Parts%202006.pdf

It is of limited use but may help when replacing your blocks.

I ended up referring to the Nacra 17 manual as they have an extremely detailed rigging list: http://www.nacra17class.com/rigging-part-list/
Use with caution, the 17 is a smaller boat, but it is similar in width and about 1' shorter than the Infusion.

In the end, depending on what you are trying to do with your boat, you may be better off calling your dealer and asking for a new lines package. I've been told the Infusion Race Package is expensive relative to the cost of the line itself, but most of us have some $ value on our time.
