Nacra 5.0 In Action

Nice clean cat, and well sailed!
The bungee keeping the jib sheet off the mast base is a life-saver, especially single-handed.
Thanks for sharing.

fun!

why no trap?

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Oak Hollow Lake is a relatively small man made lake notorious for rogue puffs, violent wind shifts (as in 180 deg. instantaneous at times, a lot of small fingers). I rarely trap on this lake as T-bagging and reverse capsizing is an ever present, commonly experienced danger.

Nice looking 5.0
If not trapping, & sitting near the rear beam, on both the 5.7 & 5.0, I keep my rear foot against the casting that anchors the main sheet. It gives you something to brace against when a sudden gust lifts the hull way up. Without that brace it is easy to go sliding down the tramp, & swimming.

Thanks Ed.

Also thanks for the tip on bracing with the center mainsheet casting.

How do you keep the camera vertical? Very nice

Thanks Andinista. The camera hangs below a simple pivot mount like a pendulum.

works well, do you have a picture to share?
