The NACRA 580 is as easy to sail as it is fast.

This sport catamaran is the ultimate hybrid between a racing and recreational catamaran. With it’s kick up centerboards and volumed hulls is high speed performance and fun guaranteed. It is also possible to fit out the 580 with an a asymmetrical spinnaker kit for even more downwind performance. Several big races were already won with this combination the last two years. The 580 can also be used as the all-round family boat to go out on the weekend and to spend time together. This specific design has super volume hulls in front of the front beam and that’s why it does not want to dive quickly and it is super stable to sail with. The 580 has a front beam jib sheeting position which provides an uncluttered trampoline. Roomy and simple set up with performance thrown in just for the fun of it! This Cat is ideal to sail with two persons for racing and with even more for cruising!

There's nothing like it.
