[quote=klozhald][quote=ec]Any input on the 5.5 nacra sails to use on the 18.2?
[/quote]
Have not tried NACRA 5.5 sails on the 18-2.
The luff, or forward bolt rope part of the 18-2 mainsail that slides into the mast kerf is approx. 22 feet 2 inches long, if that helps. The 5.5 is close to the same size/weight as the Two, but the NACRA mainsail is boom-less, so the sail swap is not without some issues.
I think the 5.5 mainsail also had an extended luff below the last batten that went nearly to the mast base.
Have you rigged the boat fully yet, and is this the case?
Did your cat come with the Prindle boom? Even if you do not use it with the NACRA mainsail, it will be good to have and/or expensive to replace. It had a 4:1 [i]internal[/i] outhaul, and adjustable mast rotation control. It's also a nifty place to mount a paddle, compass, radio, wireless speaker and course charts.[/quote]
