Nacra tiller crossbar ends
I find it a touch ironic that Nacra developed solutions for both the Prindle and older Nacra 5.2/5.5/5.8 line back in the day but neglected to implement one on their new boats. I guess the reality there is they have probably sold 1000+ new gen Nacra's since 1997 when the i20 arrived and I'm guessing they haven't had enough customer complaints to warrant a factory solution.

i like it (mine is black which is much faster)
Well you may have the preferred black one, but just shut it down buddy. I've got the Ackermann version which is the ultimate "go fast" part to have.
How do I know it's fast, well because I said so, nuff said.
I'm selling these for $10,000 each and don't delay as demand will instantly outrun supply. PM me to place your order. I lamented for years as to whether or not to share this with everyone, but here it is alas...
The previous owner of my boat replaced one of the bent tiller arms with a straight one, i sailed like that for years until i broke the other one, which i replaced with a straight one, as well as replacing the cross bar with a longer one. I was too lazy to find a workshop to bend the tubes. My impression is that it is harder to turn the boat now, particularly at the first half of the turn, at higher speed. I’m tempted to fiix it but i’m still too lazy. Perhaps i could add 90 deg. elbows each side with a short length of tube, instead of bending the tubes, but i doubt the end result will be elegant enough.
