Seller's Description

1998 Nacra Inter-20. FULLY RESTORED FRESHWATER BOAT!The original owner was based in Wisconsin who competed with it in the “Catamaran Racing Association of Wisconsin” or “CRAW”. It was then purchased by a gentleman in Washington State who had plans to dismantle it for some type of prototype project but never used it. There it sat for a few years and was never used. 3 years ago I purchased it from the gentleman in WA and had it brought down to Phoenix, Arizona. I sailed with it here at local lakes having only taken it to Rocky Point, Mexico once to prepare for some longer distance ocean races. Unfortunatley after only 10 minutes on the water we discovered that the rear beams had seperated from the hulls from the wave action. (This is a common manufacturing defect that has happened to every single I-20 I have ever seen). We immediately sailed the 10 minutes back to shore and washed the boat off in fresh water and headed back home. (20 mintues of saltwater exposure in its life!) Since then the boat has been completely disassembled and restored and is ready for the Worrell 1000 or head to the local lakes. Hulls have been repaired and reinforced to prevent beam seperation New new paint job & decals, buffed and waxed, including mast, all with PPG Aero paint. New foam decking. New traveler lines. New fully adjustable trapeze for both crew and helmsman. New Dakine footstraps. New EP spinnaker sock. New jib sheets. 3 Square-Top EP mainsails. GREAT SHAPE! 3 EP jibs. (1 non battened, 2 battened GREAT SHAPE) 3 spinnakers. (1 in very used but useable condition- black, 2 like new black & yellow) All Harken bocks and hardware. 6:1 main block. Carbon Fiber End Pole. Trampoline will last for years! Custom mast stand for set up and take down. Catrax beach wheels. Harken roller-furler forstay. Alumex, aluminum boat trailer. Fiberglass catbox minus hardlid & Toybox sailbox. (More than enough storage!)Im sure im forgetting some things. There is quite a bit. This boat is a headturner and in immaculate shape! There are not many other things that you could update on this boat. Like I said before, this boat is ready for serious racing or sailing. I have only had it in the water one time since its restoration and it performed flawlessly. She literally sings now. Will consider deliveries as far Northwest as Ventura, CA for the right price.

Calculations

Hull Speed
12.2 kn
Classic: 5.7 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

12.23 knots
Classic formula: 5.7 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
149.9
>20: high performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
149.93
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
29.8
<100: Ultralight

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
29.83
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
2.0
<20: lightweight racing boat

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
1.95
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
4.6
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
4.63
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
