Make sure you have the delrin screws so the rudders do not bang the hulls. The front of the rudders I have for the 5.7 are actually slightly under the...

what are the short comings?

yes are u able to compare and contrast the 5.8 and 5.7 mast I posted about this a while back.

Just to clarify the boat comes with beach wheels and trailer as well as good main and jib. The sails are old but nothing is wrong with them. Also has ...

Not sure your point. The boat has been both repaired and modified. Are you trying to suggest that old boats are broken and having something wrong with...

That boat is overpriced. Really good condition, maybe- with 4 ports added, something was wrong or broken I know you know a lot about this boat but, p...

You can do the same on nacra 5.7 and yes it is an absolute blast. I think a much more fun and comfortable boat than what you see in those videos. Be...

hanging from wire on mast? could be called a fools game also

that is because you cant balance? and are not comfotable on your boat. it teaches boat weight distribution.

a good method to learn weight distribution is to tie the tiller straight when winds are 5mph and waves are small walk to the hull bow by the bridle an...

u cant take boat to another country i would if i could regarding keeping level i understand completly. i used to windsurf all the time the learning c...

I now have a system that works perfectly for the nacra 5.7. I solo step the mast and rig it in less than 5 minutes. 4 minutes are untying and moving t...

Boat is back up for sale. I am sad to be getting rid of it but am moving. It is awesome and ready to sail. Easy to sail solo and easy to step mast sol...

anyone know the history of how nacra 5.7 were sold manual seems to show u assemble them after buying them anyone ever bought a brand new nacra 5.7 in ...

It is very important to tie the forestay. Because the jib halyard is lower it is less likely to get wrapped up but it is should be tied too. Not sure ...

That is even a better idea. I just don't have the eye strap. I also step the mast often

its not over thinking it works perfectly. i tested it today you can tie an alpine butterfly on main halyard rope at a height above the diamond wires m...

There is nothing wrong with it thanks for posting the step. The velcro is convenient and it is a tie down. Not sure about your use of the word unneces...

the velcro idea works great and is clear. thank you.

zern rigging

The rigging guy who made the new halyard told me the halyard wire was still in good condition Although he used new wire to make the new one. I actuall...

I have ordered them. The rigging appears to be in good condition enough to sail this weekend. I actually lost a diamond wire a few weeks ago in 15mph ...

i'd put a pad eye higher on the mast and just extend the jib preventer up a few more feet. That would likely solve the problem completely. I like thi...

Thanks Rungi, I must ask why you had not already done item 55 from the manual. Multiple people here have advised you that most of your troubles are re...

61 Yes I had done that. I think the issue is because my jib sheet is attached directly to the jib at the block like tominpa. The jam preventer is high...

edchris you ever zoom into manal photos? the other color manual is outstanding format but imagine making those delrin screwes throgh a photographic ...

also looks adjustable

i use a jib preventor but it runs around the diamond wires i do not think this is high enough. the way tominpa has his rigged seems better how do you...
