Reply to: nacra5.7; racing it? & South TX sailing Questions.

[quote=WillSail]I'm back!

Well, to recap what has happened (not happened) since my original post:

My Nacra 5.7 has been out of the water for 6-7 years.  I moved to Ohio, and the boat continues to sit @ my parent's house in Louisiana.  The boat has not seen any acton beyond it's annual wash and wax.

But, that is soon to change.  I just received the green light to relocate the boat to South Padre Island and hopefully manage to spend enough time down there to get reacquainted with the boat, tune the rig (work out the mast rake/weather helm problem) and get familiar with sailing a multihull again.

The current plan is to wash, wax and rig the boat when I head down to Louisiana for Christmas. Trailer the boat up to Dallas for Christmas v2.0 and have my wife's parents take the boat from Dallas to SPI when they make their next drive down to the island.

Outside of servicing the trailer bearings, lights and new tires I think that I am in good shape.  The stitching on the trampoline was pretty rotten two years ago and either needs to be re-sewn or just replace the entire trampoline.  Does anyone have any experience with having trampolines repaired vs replacing?  A quick online search for trampolines show replacements that have lacing down the center, but I really do like the side lace setup on the original tramp.  There are a few good marine upholstery shops near the boat, so I was thinking that getting an estimate on repair would be a good first step.
