Reply to: Hiking Rack / Wing for Nacra Inter 20

[quote=Edchris177]I had wings on a Mystere 6.0XL,(20' x 10' beam, basically a modern Tornado). They made the boat 13.5' wide. They were modified Hobie 21 wings. My wife liked them so much she made me buy an H18 Magnum & won't get on the Nacra now. It is easy to get the Hobie far enough up that the wing drags in the water. That was not the case with these. If you tipped far enough to dunk a wing you were going swimming. One other thing I noticed. When in rough water, sitting on the wings, there is not much weight on your feet. At speed, boarding waves want to rip your lower legs off. The Mystere has big hulls, you are well off the water, but still, it was surprising how often the bows would cut a wave which then yanked your feet off the hull. Whatever you build, make sure the tubes are sealed, otherwise, if you do flip, they will hold a ton of water. Hobie inserts a foam plug into the small bracing tubes, the large tubes are sealed, with no drains. Not sure if this will help you, but I took some close ups of how they were mounted & put them in this album [url]https://www.thebeachcats.com/pictures?g2_itemId=109394&g2_GALLERYSID=dc57ff1d387f59d3370a231a8fe1718c[/url]<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Apr 29, 2017 - 12:18 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
