[quote=sierracat][quote=DamonLinkous]Tom,
It looks like your boat is going to be better than ever, glad you are able to get it all figured out.[/quote]
Yes, it's coming along nicely, thanks! I appreciate your positivity. Almost done building the main beam from all raw materials, and then the rear should be even easier (less calculating anyway). I plan to start a new thread documenting the methods and tips for beam rebuilding, and generally compiling all the obscure information I've found out about early Nacras from different sources. Some of the info I've gained has been from these forums (I'll copy the links to my various threads with Q and A in the new rebuild documenting thread) but also there's some nifty facts I've found out that I couldn't find on the internet anywhere for the life of me. Hopefully the next person with an old Nacra project can get 90% of the information they need from one place.
One interesting fact I learned (from Nacra): Mast post/v-strap/beam assemblies are not mounted vertical relative to the top deck of the boat. They are angled a small amount aft (ball leaned aft, bottom of rod forward), perhaps 10º or less. Makes sense with mast rake.
OK, back to the shop for more tinkering.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by sierracat on Dec 01, 2014 - 01:52 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
