[quote=tominpa]The biggest disadvantage to the Prindles are the wide deck-tops. You bury that hull and you are going on a pitchpole trip or Peter Pan under the dolphin striker. The Nacra 5.7, 5.8 and 6.0 are older boats that can bury a hull and keep going and will handle a heavier crew with some performance. I'm impressed by the Prindle's lightweight and relatively good speed in light wind, but larger hulls, including the P18 are much better at handling heavy crew. I actually think the Getaway could be a hand-full if your crew got too far forward.
FWIW, here is a quick video of a NACRA 5.7 in relatively light wind making way with 400 lbs of crew.
