FLYING ON THE HIGHEST STAGE IN SPORTS
The original Nacra 17 was initially designed to follow World Sailing´s strict requirements for the Olympic multihull. It was fitted with curved daggerboards at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, to provide extra buoyancy and boost its efficiency both downwind and upwind. In response to recent developments and requirements, the next generation Nacra 17 Olympic has now been upgraded into
a fully foiling race machine. The Nacra 17 Olympic is designed in collaboration with Morrelli & Melvin, a world-famous design office known for many other successful multihull projects. The Nacra 17 Olympic ‘s base obviously lies in the performance of the America’s Cup boats, also involving Morelli & Melvin. Once you start flying a Nacra 17 Olympic , you’ll realize its tremendous power on the water.

The NACRA 17 was designed from scratch to meet the specific criteria set out by ISAF for the 2016 Olympic multihull. entering these products,NACRA also produce a Formula 16 and a Formula 18 catamaran and we had initially considered entering these products,but with some changes in order to more closely match the ISAF requirements.
Since ISAF’s specification did not require the design to conform to any existing class rule, we were considering adding performance-enhancing features like a carbon mast and curved dagger boards. The F16 class and F18 class rules do not allow either of these features.
After doing some further research into the ISAF requirements and what was possible within this design space, we determined that neither the F16 nor F18 platforms would be ideal within the set ISAF criteria and for Olympic Athlete’s.
Since no existing design or class fits the ISAF specs, we decided to create an all-new design that is about 17 feet long, called the NACRA17. Compared to an F16 class catamaran, it is 250mm longer, 100mm wider, has a taller mast and more sail area, and curved dagger boards. Curved dagger boards are a relatively new technology that is quickly gaining acceptance in catamarans. They have been used mostly on offshore trimarans in the past, and used primarily as a way to increase longitudinal stability and shift underwater center of effort forward to prevent leeward helm downwind.
These trimarans all have center-hull straight dagger boards for upwind sailing. In the last few years curved foils have appeared on A Class catamarans, the NACRA F20 Carbon and SL33 catamarans, and some custom and limited production catamarans. All of these designs successfully incorporate constant-curvature dagger boards, commonly referred to as “C foils”. The innovation with the curved foils on catamarans is that they are used to enhance performance for both upwind and downwind sailing. Performance improvements with the c-foils have been well documented in the A class catamarans and c-foil equipped boats have won the World Championships for the last several years.
Other foil geometries have been tested on the A Class cats but so far the c-foils have proven to provide the best all-around performance and are by far the most user-friendly and practical solution.
For the NACRA 17 we chose c-foils for the following reasons:
- C foils have proven to make catamarans easier to sail, especially downwind. They provide lift which helps keep the bows up and reduces the tendency to pitch pole. The extra lift generated from the foil helps reduce hull wetted area and markedly reduces hull drag.
- There are other foil geometries that could provide efficient lift but all the ones we evaluated for the NACRA 17 had issues that we determined were not suitable for this type of boat. For instance, L foils are not able to be retracted from the top and would make launching and beaching problematic.We are also not convinced that L foils would be faster on this type of boat. They would certainly create more drag in light air, due to having more wetted area.The windward L board would also need to be lifted to reduce drag and unwanted vertical lift on the windward side, thereby making the boat much harder to tack. C foils can be left down on the windward side since they automatically reduce their vertical lift when on the windward side.
- C-foils make the boat more exciting to sail. The ISAF Olympic Multihull Evaluation Committee report and individual sailor reports confirms this. There is an added dimension of control and speed that can be attained after gaining some experience sailing with them. We believe that this is an area that should be exploited with a modern racing catamaran and is why you see them on the NACRA 17, NACRA F20 Carbon, and SL33 catamarans.The hull shape of the NACRA 17 was designed specifically to work in harmony with the C- foils.You can add lifting foils to conventional catamaran hull shapes, but you will not realize the full benefit of the foils.This fact has been proven in the A Class catamarans and is apparent to those who are designing the next generation of Americas Cup catamarans.The NACRA 17’s new-generation hulls have about 40% greater longitudinal stability than recent conventional shaped catamarans.This increased stability comes without the drag normally associated with creating high longitudinal stability in conventional shapes, and allows the sailors to push the boat much harder downwind.Anyone in the world can become part of the NACRA family and start racing. Simply by starting to contact one of our Nacra dealers and/or distributors spreaded over the world. Just go out and ask for a demo ride on one of these boats to see for your self how cool it is.Nacra, Empowering sailors since 1975

Nacra 17 Class Association
The Nacra 17 class organization is involved in every step the Olympic boat takes. After the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the class and Nacra Sailing agreed to evolve the boat to become a fully foiling catamaran. The Nacra 17 class is open for every sailor with that Olympic ambition.
Website: Nacra 17 Class Association
The Nacra 17 has the stiffest platform to be found in this class. The wave piercing design results in a boat which has less drag and a more constant high speed. A strong and robust built boat but light at the same time. Makes it a catamaran with superb handling but challenging to sail. Finally, the carbon mast ensures both safety and performance. A true Olympic class catamaran designed for those sailors that want to be in front of the fleet every time.
For the design, the Nacra team joined forces with Morrelli & Melvin. This world-famous design office is known for their America’s Cup involvement and other successful multihull projects. Nacra Sailing and Morelli & Melvin have already worked closely together for many successful years.

Foiling catamarans, or 'foilers', use hydrofoils - wing-like structures attached to the hull - to lift the boat out of the water when it reaches a certain speed. This reduces drag and allows the boat to travel faster. NACRA's foiling technology has been a game-changer in the sailing world, setting new standards for speed and performance.

Just to get idea how looks like real diversity of inflatables. I have sailed some, but cannot compare them with Tornado or Nacra Inter 18. Rigid boats are much more fun (IMHO) for sail but PIA to travel, if you have not trailer. And I had not. The main reason of inflatables in ex-USSR is ease of transportation by car, train or airplane.
NEW MATERIALS Unimaginable power - you just need a breeze. The sail plan for the Nacra F20 Carbon consist of a variety in high aspect carbon infused mainsail and jib configurations - from material to cut to use.

Nice one. I've never seen one close by. I've spent most of the time under MIG-21 - we were training facility. Good thing that we have unlimited supply of ethanol from defroster system.
The Nacra F18 range has been dominating the racing circuit for decades. With this latest iteration of the record breaking F18 Infusion, the MKIII, we've turned it up a notch. The Infusion MKIII design is suitable for an incredibly wide range of weather conditions, making competitive catamaran sailing an accessible treat for both experienced as well as new sailors.
A team in Russia has developed this sleek hydrofoiling electric boat with a retro-tech classic runabout look, both inside and out. The boat is called the Molniya - Russian for 'lightning' - and uses fixed surface piercing (SP) foils rather than the retractable inverted-T fully submerged (FS) type on boats like the Candela 7.. The Molniya prototype was built by Artem Markov and a small ...
The Nacra F16 Carbon offers everything race teams look for in a mature racing cat and more. It is the preferred choice for lightweight crews of all ages and is suitable for both double-handed and single-handed sailing. The boat comes in a full Class approved configuration as standard. But you can easily switch to semi-foiling performance.
