Reply to: Seeking Nacra 5.0 advice

[quote=davebe]Thanks for the feedback. tominpa: Which hold down straps are you referring to? If they are the straps holding the beams to the hull, there are none on this boat. Wolfman: Would you fill the voids in the keel with straight epoxy or add reinforcing fiber to it, underneath the glass tape? Does the hole in the mast, through which the spreader bar goes, have an internal sleeve/bushing which prevents water from entering the mast? If not, it seems like an easy entry point for water. Would need a very flexible sealant to allow the bar to move without breaking the seal. Are there any performance reasons the Nacras are less common here in the Pacific NW? Are the skegs solid glass and epoxy? Just wondering how much "grinding" they can withstand. Would you recommend removing the hulls from the tramp frame in order to more easily refinish the bottom? Anyone know what material the sails are made out of? Dacron? Trying to determine if the red stain is removeable. Sunlight might eventually do the trick. Dave[/quote]
