Posts: 1,121 Eastern NC, USA | Finally looked at the actual pages at the Portsmouth site and SCRHS site ( www.schrs.com) and do not see a rating for the 580 on either. There is a link called "the calculation" on the SCHRS site that allow to calculate your number on some supplied metrics. Hope that helps.

I assume the sail plan was the same as the 5.8 NA using a larger jib and bow foil compared to the original Nacra 5.8.

Posts: 915 Dublin, Ireland | Holiday greetings,
Can anyone share their experiences with the Nacra 580? What are its Portsmouth ratings? What are the differences between the N-580 and the Prindle 19 or 18-2? Is the N-580 difficult to pitch-pole? How much crew weight can the N-580 handle? Regards to all. Try contacting the guys from this site. They sailed many ocean miles on a 580. http://www.texeltarifa.nlOne of them, Mark Stork, was recently in touch with me, marc(at)gin-t.nl

Differences: - 8.5 feet wide - Hulls are different (finer entry) - Boom - Roachier main - Centerboards - Heavier
This boat is intended to be a recreation boat. It is extremely stable, but slightly less lively than the 5.8NA.
