Hello there,
I just bought this Nacra 5.8 (1984)and I do have a lot of questions regarding its tune up / rigging , jib set up etc.
I would appreciate to receive pictures of "ready to sail" Nacras (I guess that 5.7 / 5.2 would be the same) as to help me to figure out the right way of doing it. (Mast base, jib, mainsheet, trapeze, etc etc. (I've checked the nacra.us web site and have downloaded their manual - but pictures are not that great... :(
I'm in Miami, FL - anybody in the neighborhood who could help me ? Thanks a lot.
Mark

pm me with an email address and ill send you the 1994 sailing world 5.8 tuning guide i downloaded from somewhere
and check the goosemarine site, the nacra dealers in australia
they seem to know more about the 5.8 than anyone else
http://www.goosemarine.com.au/_content/documents/general/11%20mm%20Nacra%205_8%20tuning%20data%20from%20port%20stephens
also a good idea to build up lots of pics from google searches of other nacras and 5.8's from for sale ads

also youtube searches, where you can pause the video and see how they've done different things
