Hi,

Anyone know a source for NACRA parts specifically the main beam (front). There is one for sale locally however the beam is corroded out at the mast post and the dolphin striker nut plat and will need a new one...

Check the usual places, Murrays, Key Sailing. There is also a guy who has a TON of beach cat parts in Houston, he posts general ads on Cragslist, but don't remember his name.

If you don't have a local Nacra dealer you can get the beam from an Aluminium supplier, you could contact Brisbane Catamaran Centre in Qld Aus for the dimensions, while your at it have a look inside the beam where the straps go and see if it has the I beam supports there, if not you can order those from Bris Cats while your at it, they do make a fair bit of difference regarding stiffness of the platform. Good luck with it and remember the Australian Nacra National championships are on this New Years coming up, with a week of sunshine on a big lake at my home club Meningie in South Aus, come and join the fun with around 20 other 5.8's, we already have one team coming from Hong Kong
