[quote=erice]i say the speed of the 5.0 will be a little slower than the h18 due to the published handicaps
from memory the h18 has the same handicap as my nacra5.2
and both the nacra 5.2 and the h18 have longer hulls, more sail area and center-boards
all are important for getting around a race course quickly
but you could quite easily find that a 5.0 sailed solo in light lake winds will be faster than an h18 2-up
the nacra 5.0 comes very highly recommended and nacra still basically make it as the nacra 500 <!-- editby --><em>edited by: erice, Sep 03, 2010 - 09:16 AM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
