Nacra 5.8 Should I???

afvenom · 2017-08-24T23:53:00Z

Hi people, I have been lurking here for years finally joined and have a question or two: This boat has sat unused for 22 years mostly covered. I have a chance to buy this 1983 Nacra 5.8 (with an awesome trailer with really nice fiberglass catbox) for $100, the hulls are in awesome shape as is most everything else except the running rigging and.... The catbox was broken into and it is missing the main, boom and one daggerboard. I am quite adept at mechanical things and have been a lifelong H16/14 and Monohull Sailer and feel I could easily make this boat very nice but am worried about the cost to replace the missing parts. I only want used parts as this is just a project to cruise Mission bay in San Diego for fun. I understand the issues with pre-85's such as the hull weight, rudders, crummy traveler etc, but I am willing to live with its shortcomings. MY CONCERN: I have browsed all kinds of classifieds and can find very little used 5.8 parts for sale and cannot afford new. Is there just no market for these boats and parts any more? Do you have any ideas and are any parts cross-compatible from other boats? Thanks, Pat

Anyone have some 5.8 sails lying around they don't need?
