Per the request of Wouter & Steve, I will try to post my "before" picture of the Nacra again.
By the way, if you ever buy an older cat that has lots of oxidation on the the gel coat, try using Meguiar's "Heavy Duty Oxidation Remover." It does a GREAT job of restoring gel coat, faster and easier than rubbing compound.
As for how many other Nacra 5.0's are lying about? They guys at Performance Catamaran said they built over 1500 stateside. My guess is there may be more than that worldwide since I know they are building Nacra's in Australia at least.
In any case I hope to be sailing my brand new, second hand F16 by the weekend of the 26th, just in time for the Huntington Lake races.
