Reply to: Buying my first boat...

[quote=mbsailor]I'm not too familiar with the Nacra 5.2, but in general my advice to a new sailor is get an easy-to-sail boat like a Hobie Wave. I know some people on this forum will disagree with me, but unless you're lucky enough to have a reliable, experienced crew, (and that's VERY rare), then you'll be better off with a boat you can single-hand. And that means getting it in and out of the water, rigging, righting and sailing. So when the wind is right, you can just GO! If you can't sail the boat yourself, then you'll spend too many great sailing days with your toes in the sand working the phone trying to find a crew. On my own beach we have 2 dozen cats buried 6-inches deep in sand because the boat-owners can't find a person to sail with.[/quote]
