Description:

1979 Nacra 5.5 SL (sloop). Older, modified boat, but ready to sail! Started life as an 18sq, converted to a 5.5 Uni, then hull-to-hull spreader, bridle and jib added to make it a sloop. I put a lot of love into this boat as my first cat. Built it up from a damaged project boat about 6 years ago. So hoping someone will love it and sail it.
This boat is in Northern California - happy to bring it to a serious nearby buyer and spend time rigging the boat or even sailing with them if they needed guidance. These Nacras were quick and popular for their day and share similarities and parts with Nacra 5.2, 5.8 and 6.0. Not a real competitive boat, but I've raced at a lot of regattas in the open multihull class and had fun.
It’s and older boat for sure with thin glass layup - so it needs to be treated gently. This is not a drag it up the beach Hobie 16. Ideally you would have or source some beach wheels. The hulls are in decent shape - no leaks, no deep gouges - tho it's an older boat and gel coat has lost some shine. Hulls have had repairs over the years (not by me) including adding glassed-in width-wise supports in hulls to stiffen the boat. There's a lot of inspection ports - ten!!! So access is easy almost everywhere on hulls.
Mainsail is in very good shape, two jibs w/ one in decent (off a Nacra 5.8,), mast and spreaders in great shape, standing rigging is fine. Comes with the Uni-rig stays (twin forestays, no bridle) if you want to run it Uni (mainsail only) by removing bow spreader and bridle. Tramp is old but has been re-sewn and has some life left. Blocks and sheets all good shape. Rudders and dagger boards in good shape. Comes with spare set of rudder blades and a spare set of daggerboards.
Trailer is custom made by me. Nice lengthy carpeted hull supports, mast supports with rear one drop-down out of way if you pull a pin. All lights work. Trailer and boat are both registered with papers.
I have an F18 now (Tiger) so I need move my beloved Nacra along!
