Solomon's Island, MD | Plus a little more local support, for whatever that is worth in Nacra $$ these days. IMO, at this stage of the game, if you have to ask what it costs you don't have the capital required for WHEN the foils break. The other route to take is do the design work and build work yourself; how much is your time worth and are you as good as M&M at design work?
How many non-flying F20c's are there? How many Phantoms are there in the U.S in the road-legal stock F-18 version? Remember, both of these boats are 10' wide and carbon prices aren't going down. The only classes you'll be racing in full flying this decade are the Moth and A-cat, otherwise it's a line-honors machine.
There is also a lot more going on in Europe than Nacraman is letting on in this thread....Mark have any leads on a good used Marstrom T w/ modern carbon rig? Hehehe sam........ Just to clarify standard F18 Phantoms are 8'6" wide, Flying Phantoms are 10' wide, F20 Carbon and F20 Carbon FCS are 10' 6" wide...... Thanks, realize my post was a bit wonky. Point was Phantom has limited market presence in the U.S and not many F20C's have been sold.

Solomon's Island, MD | Your not from Sweden...
One most remember, at last checking, Nacra was a play business for the owner (NOT the dealers, corporate!)...they are overwhelmed just managing the Olympic 17 as is, my gut says the F20 FCS has been developed as a trial platform for the next generation of 17 foils.

| sounds as the foil-package might be available soon. Interesting that NACRA has never replied to my request for such a nice package although i own two of these beauties.
I will never understand their Marketing strategy....
cheers from germany More than happy to fill you in on the details of the F20C FCS and also the upgrade kit for existing F20 C's including delivery times. Please pm me..... NacramanUK | | |
