[quote=danimal35][quote]The Nacra 5.2 is a blast, HOWEVER, it is not a boat for you to put 3-4 people on, with some gear, & camp. The N5.7 above checks all your boxes, & wins, hands down, over every other boat mentioned.[/quote]

I just realized that my original post was misleading. I would like to build up to doing a camp/cruise single handed alone/solo with minimal gear. Bringing 3-4 people would ONLY be for a hour or so outing, nothing more.

The 5.7 seems like an amazing boat and that's awesome Edchris that you guys are still sailing the magnum comfortably. For my primary purpose of solo camping, does the 5.2 seem adequate? I believe the trampoline is about 6ftx6ft, maybe shorter, but should still be able to sleep sideways on it if I remove the cross bar.

I may go look at the Prindle 18 this weekend, seems like it checks all my boxes. Only thing is the owner isn't a sailor so its hard to confirm all the pieces are there before making the 6 hour drive. Nacra 5.2 owner however has sent me great videos of all gear. Thank you for your replies! It's encouraging that no one has told me that these boats would be overwhelming for a noob.[/quote]
