I own an old Nacra 5.2 and after flipping it several times on shore to do some maintenance and rigging stuff, I'm pretty confident that my 150# is not going to be enough to even think about solorighting. That mast is pretty darn heavy. I have yet to get knocked over in this boat, but since I usually sail solo or with my kids, I don't go out on heavy or even upper medium days unless someone else is out there with me. My son likes to fly the hull, but I usually don't get high enough for the daggerboards to come clean. Most of the times I end up lying to him and tell him "You're flying!" when we are actually just skipping the windward hull. He falls for it... I feel safe. We both win.
