The standard in Formula 16 sailing. Recreational or highly competitive. The carbon stepping stone.
The Nacra F16 Carbon offers everything race teams look for in a mature racing cat and more. It is the preferred choice for lightweight crews of all ages and is suitable for both double-handed and single-handed sailing.
The boat comes in a full Class approved configuration as standard. But you can easily switch to semi-foiling performance. If you wish to take your F16 even further, there are several exciting options available.

Crew Configurable
ALWAYS BE ONE STEP AHEAD
The Formula 16 Class used to be an assembly of ‘homemade’ boats, but ever since World Sailing (ISAF back then) recognized the Class as official in 2010, it matured quickly. From the beginning, Nacra Sailing was convinced that Formula 16 sailing will grow and rise to new heights and so we’ve decided to make a dedicated Class boat. Together with the legendary engineers from
Morelli&Melvin we’ve designed a boat that has become the standard for almost every type of sailor – from the recreational solo-sailor to competitive teams searching for the cutting edge. And of course, it fits perfectly into the Olympic pathway: The Nacra F16 Carbon is the perfect steppingstone from youth to full Olympic sailing.
The racer for sailors with attitude. It is perfect for lightweight single or double crews of all ages. Designed to put sailors in control, the Nacra F16 Carbon is loads of fun to sail, both in racing and touring mode. A very rigid platform Although Formula 16 Class regulations do not yet allow Decksweeper sails, Nacra has made them available anyway. And in maybe the biggest upgrade yet, the F16 ‘s sails are now constructed of Endumax® – one of the strongest and lightest cloth materials to date.
Superstrong lightweight carbon components give the Nacra F16 Carbon its name. With options such as full carbon mast, boom, spinnaker pole and tiller tie bar, your F16 can be as light as you wish it to be.
NEW MATERIAL Stronger than steel, light as a feather. The all-new sails made by Olympic supplier Performance Sails are now made of Endumax® , a revolutionary aramid film that is incredibly strong and light. In fact, its strength-to-weight ratio is the highest available on the market. Its unique physical and chemical structure give Endumax® incredible performance, a very high resistance against tearing and other damages, and against UV-rays. Your Endumax® sails will take your F16 to the next level, no matter the circumstances.
The strength of Endumax® sails shows when sailing competitively.
