Hello guys , I just got a nacra 6.0 and I pretty much have no idea how to rig it , there are a ton of pulleys and cleats on that thing , I've rigged small boats before like American 18 and hobie waves , but this is nothing like those boats , I guess what Im looking for is a detailed guide of the different rigging parts or maybe pictures of the same thing ..

Im located in South Florida if someone wants to go sailing with me once the boat is ready go ahead and PM me .

Thank you all in advance

How to rig:
pull sail up with main halyard
lift jib with jib halyard
place in water - sheet in - hang on

murrays.com sells a manual for a few $$$

Hello wynn-ryder, welcome to TheBeachcats.com!

I can't locate a specific Nacra 6.0 assembly manual, anyone have one we can add to the archive?

The 6.0 NA and the 5.5 SL are rigged the same. The parts are larger on the 6.0 NA and the 6.0 NA has double diamonds on the mast, but the are rigged the same and have the same parts.

Hi Wynn Rider! I'm in Miami, on a Whisper Catamaran. As far as I can tell, this Whisper is rigged similar to a Nacra 20; maybe I can help. You'll definitely want the manuals from online sources. Where do you launch from / where do you keep the boat?

I currently keep boat at Crandon Park Marina, Key Biscayne. You can reach me at martin . langhoff @ gmail.com ~

There's a nice group -- I haven't actually met them yet -- that gets together for a monthly race. They'll probably have a Nacra 6.0 in the group, you can contact them at https://www.facebook.com/Catamaran-Association-of-Biscayne-Bay-Florida-133406503177

If you have a Whisper, I need help! I need a ride on that boat or i think i may explode.
I live in tampa, but will drive down right this very second if i can crew (just kidding but i have boat envy)
