Additional comments :
The Nacra Company does use the F17 identifier for their latest 17 footer. The F17 has a 9.25 mtr (30' 4") carbon mast, differing from the N17 with a shorter aluminum mast and less sail area. In the past, Nacra has launched and produced the following variations of their 17 foot boat. Australian Inter 17 (a doublehanded sloop which replaced the Nacr 5.2 in that market), European Inter 17, US Inter 17, Inter 17R and now the Nacra F17. The Australian Inter 17 has different hulls than all the rest. The European and US Inter 17 were the same. The US Inter 17R and F17 are almost identical and only differ in some component differences which are relatively insignificant.
