So, anyone know where I can find some used daggerboards and a decent headsail? I found some knew ones at Murrays? i think, for $230 each. Ouch, but if that's what it takes...,, Fairly handy, maybe build my own??
Thanks!

Hi, new to Nacra sailing. Picking up a 5.2. Its been in storage for years. Missing the Daggerboards and the headsail. Im assuming we might call that a jib as well? ( Im more of a big Cat cruiser 40-55' so Im used to Genoas) My friend wanted me to teach her to sail one so I thought we'd better start small. I like the racing design too and look forward to re-rigging her and shaping sails for performance etc (although it looks like I may have to put down my drink to do this;)

Howdy,
I've got a couple sets hanging on the wall - shoot me a email and I'll dig them out - not sure what they are worth but two are in perfect shape - two have a few miles on them.... ericATeventmediasystems.com

Welcome to beachcats, with that said good luck finding those boards.I'm always on the hunt for them,thats a out dated price from murrays more like double that!The good news is a 5.5 board will fit a 5.2,not all that much easier to find
build some and you;ll have plenty of buyers.plenty of jibs out there,good luck with the search
keep us posted i've got a line on one i,ll call him this weekend .iwent so far as to buy a second 5.2 then backed out last minute might be an option for you since you need two and jib

Hey Erick, I emailed you with my phone number. Haven't heard anything back. I'm new to this forum and I'm not sure my email went thru. Did you get it? Thanks, Kevin -
