2017 Nacra 17 FCS

The 2017 Nacra 17 FCS is a high-performance Olympic mixed multihull catamaran designed by Morrelli & Melvin. This foiler version measures 17 feet in length with an 8.5-foot beam and features a carbon fiber mast and aluminum boom, stepping from the fore beam. The sail plan includes a 172-square-foot mainsail, 43-square-foot jib, and 204-square-foot asymmetrical spinnaker, with a 30-foot mast height. The hull and structural components are built from epoxy, fiberglass, and carbon materials.

Engineered for competitive sailing, the boat carries rotating spare parts and is configured for the demanding conditions of Olympic-level competition. The lightweight, rigid construction and efficient foiling design deliver the responsiveness and speed required at this level of racing.
