2008 F18 Infusion - USA 1042
One of the most competitive F18 designs currently available, this boat is ideal for both endurance sailing and short-course racing. The catamaran design allows for speeds unseen by traditional race boats, even those up to three times larger.
From Performance Sports, Inc: The Nacra Infusion is the only production catamaran that is made with infusion technology. This technique makes sure that weigh distribution in manufacture produces a much stiffer hull compared to conventional methods, and stiffness of hull produces extra performance in high level racing for many more years. The production of dagger boards and rudder blades is also new, being made in three dimensional shaped aluminum moulds using high compression to give Nacra F18 Infusion stiffer and stronger blades for high level racing. The Nacra Infusion features a wing mast that provides superb rig dynamics coupled with advanced sail design from Performance Sails.
