570 is a great choice as it is boomless and boardless..maybe a bit much solo. Maybe a 500 is batter choice. I sail mine solo all the time and just don...

Raking the mast back can be a benefit to pointing higher upwind. You won't feel much difference moving one hole at at time and could give up before yo...

Even 1 hole will move the upper part of the mast back significantly enough to where your sheet lead for your jib will have to be changed. If the 5.0's...

Now, Nacra jibs are very small, so it probably really doesn't make much difference especially if a spinnaker is involved. But when close hauled, if yo...

There's another important difference between the 5.0 and the 500. The 500, and all Nacras for that matter, have switched to rectangular shaped cross b...

I can imagine there aren't many 460's for sale as they are produced in Europe now. Try looking for a 450 or a 4.5. It's the same boat. I had a 450 ...

So I believe the hull shape is the same on 5.0 and 500. 500 has a modified rudder system and they moved the jib blocks to the front crossbar. Square...
