[quote=Edchris177]This is advertised as a Nacra 5.5. It's not a huge detour on the way to my cottage, & my crew is tossing around the idea of getting a Cat so we can have a flotilla of two! ( this would be the "insert Portuguese word for ultra" Segredo Frota)
It doesn't look quite like a Nacra rudder system, the cross tie is angled & I've never seen a red one. The mast step has a fitting on the beam, & looks like th eball is missing.
I emailed him asking what year/model of 5.5 it was, & the response was to add the pictures to the ad. Looks like a major repair was done to the inside or starboard hull.

Yesterday was the 34th day this summer I've sailed my 5.7, to windy to be fun solo today. I think the advice from one poster who counseled that it was too much boat for a beginner, & would spend more time in the driveway than on the water has been put to rest. The water is starting to cool down, can't see making 50 days, but perhaps I can get some of the cosmetic things done. I decided to sail it hard rather than spend time dressing it up to look pretty. <!-- editby --><em>edited by: Edchris177, Sep 18, 2010 - 11:18 AM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
