Reply to: First Big Blow with the New/Old Nacra 5.2

[quote=Wolfman]Hey Everyone, I just got back from 2 days of the best sailing I've had since I got my Nacra 5.2 this spring! Saturday we were out for about 5 hours in 15 knots and today we were out for only a couple of hours in 20+ knots! I know for a lot of people here that is normal wind, but on my small 10 km by 10 km lake that was amazing. Now I know why I bought this boat. It handled like a dream and felt like it could have handled way more wind. Unfortunately I`m a relative beginner and an old man to boot with a similar crew and we could barely handle it (the boat was outsailing us)! It never felt like it was out of control though and it never even threatened to pitchpole! I wouldn't have even attempted going out in this much wind with our old H16 when I was a kid. A weekend like this really reinforces that I bought the right boat at the right time, despite the people who tried to sell me on a hobie wave or a much smaller boat. This is the type of sailing I lived for as a kid and the type I want to do now! Just thought I would share. Now I`m off to find the Ben Gay and Robaxacet! Apparently Bengay is a dirty word on here?! :) Regards, Dave <!-- editby --><em>edited by: Wolfman, Sep 20, 2009 - 09:24 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
