Roanoke Island ,N.C. | Looks like the main hasn't "flopped" over yet.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.

Florida Suncoast, Dunedin Caus... | Sails looked, felt rather different, the cloth is a bit "solid" I know what you're talking about. They feel more like a thick roll of plastic than cloth.... is that what you mean to suggest? not really, what I mean is that the sails feels more "solid" like if it would be very hard to fold [they didn't let me...}. I have a N20 one design, with 2 year old sails, but my sails really feel different btw. the sails are crosscut That looks like a fabric with a much wider scrim pattern and thicker scrim threads. I believe the sail fabric is dimension "Flex". The scrim can be poly,carbon or kevlar. It's designed to be sewn cross-cut.
Have Fun

Newport, RI | Ok... you 20 sailors are going to bite my head off for this one...
The F20 looks like a refined and stretched Infusion hull...
Should Nacra take this design and make an Infusion2?
I say according to F18 spirit... ABSOLUTELY!!! If they have the technology they may as well use it.
I think the Infusion is a great but there are obviously flaws in every design.. maybe the F20 hull is better in the lighter range than the infusion.
