nacra catamaran

Discover the edge of possible

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.

Usage Competitive racing Touring Semi-foiling

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.

Customize away

You can customize your Nacra F16 Carbon with multiple accessories, upgrades and additions to make your catamaran truly yours.

The F16 class fosters a sense of a community among competitive and social racers. The class aims to work closely with the other formula classes to create a great environment for all sailors. It is both an open class (handicap) and a class racer. In addition to competitive sailing, recreational sailing is an important aspect of the class. These three scenes fully complement each other and none impedes the full exploitation of the other. The F16 class looks forward to welcoming new F16 sailors to their community, no matter what type of sailor you are.

ANY WAY YOU WANT TO SAIL

The   Nacra 15   is the first catamaran we’ve made that offers great versatility for any type of sailor. Since the induction of the first model as Youth Olympic multihull by   World Sailing , sailors have been asking if we could tailor the  N15   to their specific desires. Therefore we decided to produce a non-Olympic version in multiple configurations: double crewed daggerboard, double crewed foiling, single crewed daggerboard and single crewed foiling. Despite these configurations not being Class legal, they offer everything sailors want. Speed, performance, stability, excitement and more than anything: a sense of adventure. Of course constructed with the exact same Olympic quality materials – only the configuration differs. While the double crewed  N15s  come fully geared, the single crewed versions come with a specialized  Decksweeper  mainsail and spinnaker, lacking a jib. Everything is optimized for the way you want to sail.

Pathway for youth sailing The Nacra 15 is designed from scratch, primarily to the World Sailing criteria to become the official Youth Multi hull. With success, the fast growing Nacra 15 Class in its C-foil (curved dagger boards) configuration, is now an on-going and integral fleet of the Youth Sailing World Championships. And more unique at the Youth Olympic Games. The Nacra 15 is a smaller version of the original Olympic Nacra 17 Mixed Multi hull, creating a true Olympic pathway.

Designed in 2015, the Nacra 15 offers high performance, super competitive racing with speeds up to 20 knots and beyond. A performer in its own right.

On top of all this, Nacra Sailing is offering the all new Nacra 15 FCS (Flight Control System) and the single handed Nacra 15 FCS ONE for adults who want to single hand. 

The Nacra 15 is about international racing and making new friends around the world. But it doesn’t stop there, it’s also about having fun locally whilst just enjoying the thrill of teenage performance sailing. A great, healthy and varies foundation in life’s skills for the young athletes.

Who will be sailing the Nacra 15?  • Parents teaching their kids learning to race around the buoys • Sailors that just want a light multi hull with large range of sail and crew weight versatility Nacra 15 class The Nacra 15 is chosen by World Sailing as the World Sailing Youth Multi hull in November 2015. The boat is used during the World Sailing Youth World Championships and during the Youth Olympic Games. The Nacra 15 is the pathway for young sailors on their way to the Nacra 17 and Olympic Games.

Nacra 15 FCS

Following the evolution of the Olympic Nacra 17 Class, Nacra Sailing introduces the full foiling Nacra 15 FCS multi hull. The sail plan is the same as the original Nacra 15, the difference is the FCS foiling package being ‘plug and play’. Use it as part of a new boat package, or as an additional option for existing Nacra 15 owners. Nacra 15 FCS is the ultimate sailing experience.

Nacra 15 FCS ONE

Answering the increasing popularity of single-handed sailing for teens and adults, Nacra Sailing is proud to present the Nacra 15 FCS ONE, a full foiling, single-handed version of Nacra 15 FCS. The key difference is the sail configuration including a super efficient deck sweeper main sail, without jib. Single-handed sailing is independent, can be highly competitive and is so much fun.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.

Rosatom obtained a license for the first land-based SMR in Russia

On April 21, Rosenergoatom obtained a license issued by Rostekhnadzor to construct the Yakutsk land-based SMR in the Ust-Yansky District of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

ROSATOM and FEDC agree to cooperate in the construction of Russia's first onshore SNPP

ROSATOM and FEDC have signed a cooperation agreement to build Russia's first onshore SNPP in Yakutia.

Rosatom develops nuclear fuel for modernized floating power units

Rosatom has completed the development of nuclear fuel for the RITM-200S small modular reactor designed for the upgraded floating power units.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.
