Could anyone point me to a site or give me info for making a self tacking jib for my Nacra 20?

Hmm, I think that what Hullflyer is saying is that you can piece one together from the bits available there. I couldn't find an article on making one on the site (although I find that site hard to navigate).

Did the Nacra 20 come with a self tacking jib? If not you likely would have to steal it from another boat or piece it together with parts. I've personally not used one so I'm not 100 % sure.

if you go to the forums on the other site and do a search for self tacking jib you should get 100's of responses. That being said.. not sure if there is much info on adding one yourself.
