Tim - thanks for the note. I'm not sure either and I'm in a club that has one other cat sailor who has never seen a Nacra of any kind. I'm finding it surprisingly hard to fine a group of Nacra 5.2 sailors out there - for talking and sharing. Jake has been a major help to me, but I've found it difficult to get a number of folks to respond to what I am sure are beginner and basic questions. Maybe the number of 5.2's left out there is small and not many are racing it these days. I know I love mine, and just hope I can learn from others any tricks to go faster sooner!
