[quote=cookwithgas][quote=pbegle]Mast is 1 1/2" taller, has diamond wires that are in way when raising(mast is rotated 90 degrees when raising). If you're under 45 yrs & in good shape, yes, go for it. Pete[/quote]
I'm 54 and have no trouble setting up and single-hand sailing my 5.2. I also went from Hobie 16's to the 5.2 Nacra and love the differences. It floats a lot better and I like the daggerboard versatility. Just remember to pull them up before you get to shallow water. The rudder system is a joy to operate also compared to the Hobie 16. Put new bungee's in the rudders and they pop up like mad when you need them too. Deploying the rudders is much easier on the Nacra than the Hobie 16. It's an all around joy to sail. Enjoy![/quote]
