You can download a Nacra assembly manual from the Performance Cat web site - www.performancecat.com



The manual says 16-18 ft/lbs. That sounds a little tight to me.

Also make sure you grease the bolts with white grease.

I always use an adjustable wrench on the chips to keep them from turning and thus putting more preasure on one side of the beam strap than the other.



Have fun. If you haven't sailed a 5.0 yet, it's a great boat
