Key Sailing in Pensacola Beach is your best bet for Florida.

It is hard to believe there is no South Florida Nacra dealer. No offense to Key Sailing, but South Florida is a long, long way from Pensacola.

Steve Marsh from the Finish Line (Corsair) used to sell Nacras, but I have been led to believe Nacra dealers are hard to find in the US.

I wonder what your dad would say about racing a N 17 - Bet he would go for it!;-) I wish I was in shape enough to keep up with my grandson for a day...

It's funny they're so hard to find now, when back in the day they tried to MAKE you buy from the one closest to you. I always used Rick Bliss w/ New England catamarans. he wasn't the closest, but he was the (and still is) the best.
For Fl. as stated above Kirk or Charlie at Key Sailing are awesome also.

If he was a youngster again, he would be all over it. ON the 5.2/5.5 SL he always raced either with a youth (older teenager) or female (his wife) as crew. They would have been the prototypical crew for the N17.

I remember the first time we rigged a spinnaker on a 5.2 in his back yard (back in the days before a spin pole). He was really excited. We took it to the lake that weekend and he tied his boat off backward from the dock and hoisted the spinnaker and set it while tied to the dock (fairly light day, obviously). He left it like that all the way through lunch, just to show the monohull guys what he had rigged up.

Highly doubt it since she's the Importer for AHPC. Most likely Robbie was hired to coach, nothing to do with being a dealer, but who knows stranger things have happened.
