Sailing the NACRA 17: A Unique Opportunity for Female Sailors
The NACRA 17 offers women a unique opportunity to get into high-performance foiling, providing a mix of speed, teamwork, and access to elite-level competition.
Once the boat is foiling, the apparent wind increases, and the physical demands skyrocket. However, in the NACRA 17, the power can be shared between the crew and the helm, allowing women to helm at the highest level without being physically limited.
The NACRA 17 changes that dynamic. Because it's a mixed-gender class, the power can be shared.
- The crew handles big loads with both hands on the sheets
- The helm, often the woman, drives, trims, and makes tactical calls
This partnership enables women to compete at the top level of Olympic sailing without being hindered by the physical demands of single-handed foilers.
Author's summary: NACRA 17 offers women a realistic route to top-level foiling competition.
