Tough choice. My experience as a day sailor on a Nacra 5.2 from about the same vintage was mixed. It was FAST and it won't pitchpole like a Hobie 16 due to the bow design. But my problem with it was it is more racer than pleasure boat, meaning the jib blocks were in the middle of the tramp so the crew was getting tangled in them. Also the boom was very low over the tramp compared to the Hobie, so combine that with avoiding the jib blocks and the crew didn't have much fun on gybes or tacks. I prefered the ease of sailing the Hobie over the Nacra.
