[quote=samc99us]wildtsail, interesting point on the Performance Sails...will advise our fleet to go that way if it remains class legal and cost effective.
cezo823, not ragging on the Nacra 5.2 which is a fine boat but my real point is no one is doing serious, race performance based development work on sails for older platforms. Even if you got 10-20 Nacra 5.2's together for a race, the depth of talent is unlikely to match that of even the U.S F18 fleet, which has Olympic contenders and hopefuls down to about 10th place at U.S Nationals and far deeper than that in a Worlds fleet. It's tough to do good sail development without really top level sailors on the boat racing regularly-the feedback loop just isn't there, no matter how good the design team is.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by samc99us on Aug 27, 2015 - 02:51 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
