[quote=renegade]Thanks for the welcome and replies so far.
I know the new Olympic N17 isn't the same boat as the Inter / Nacra F17, I thought the I17R / F17 could be my best value for entry level spin boat if it could handle my size well enough to fly hulls etc. The Cathouse has a page claiming they are combining the old I17R / F17 and the new Olympic N17 into a new NACRA17na class........so if there is a new active class again for the old I17R / F17 might they become more sought after than they are now with a dead class........? .And yeah I agree, NACRA has been fluffing up boat names and killing classes since about 1983...............
So between an I17R and an I18, besides length and beam, are the hulls the same shapes, or is one newer / better than the other in same situations? If I choose to get a spin boat now, and could find one at reasonable cost, those would probably my choices right now based on cost to acquire etc.
And to clarify, I mentioned the N20 only because if I was to be able to have a two boat solution, I would want one for ocean stuff with 2-4 aboard and then also have a fast enough 17'-18' solo boat for my regular sailing on AZ lakes.
[quote]Misconception based on Nacras confusing naming habits. The new Olympic Multihull is the Nacra 17, not the Nacra F17 (and there was never a 17 foot formula rule). The Nacra 17 Olympic Multihull is a completely new design and is optimized to match the requirement for mixed-gender crew in the Olympic multihull class.[/quote]<!-- editby --><em>Edited by renegade on Nov 07, 2013 - 04:49 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
