I have a 1989 Hobie 16 in very good shape with about 300 lbs of crew on board. My friend has a 1989 Nacra 5.8NA with newer sails. He will have about 400+ lbs of crew. Which of the boats will be faster? Is it a close race? I am unfamiliar with the Nacra boats. Just curious. Thank you. |

Likely the Narca 5.8 It is a 19 foot boat with much more hull volume and sail area. |

Best way to find out is put some money down, agree to some rules and get after it. Bound to be a good discussion back in the bar. |

Unless the NACRA5.8 is crewed by novices and the H16 by experts - the result is certain. and it will not even be close. |

According to the Portsmouth numbers the Nacra 5.8 D-PN is 66.6 the Hobie 16 is 76. The Formula 18s with spinnakers are 62.4. This should give you some idea about how much faster the Nacra 5.8 goes around a course. Roughly speaking, in a one hour race, the Nacra 5.8 should give the Hobie 16 about a 10 minute head start. |
