THE MODERN UPGRADE OF A CLASSIC
The latest500model is completely redesigned from the ground up, while still keeping the spirit of the first legendary model alive. We’ve taken the 1998 original, almost 25 years old, and improved it where we could: on almost every level. Moreover, the new500 MK2is constructed according to our own incredibly high Olympic standards – 45 years of innovation and professional top-quality construction makes this a truly new experience on the water.
We’ve worked hard to make this expertise suitable for everyone. Plug-and-play without performance loss is the name of the game. The result is a modular design with redesigned rigging. Maintaining its skeg configuration, you don’t need to deal with daggerboards – the rudders flip and you can glide straight on as soon as you hit sand – it’s from beach to water and back again in a breeze. Literally.

Powered with newly designed sails, handmade by Olympic Class SupplierPerformance Sails, we’ve optimized the power distribution and developed a brand new plug-and-play batten tension system. Large new ProGrip deck pads give extra sailing comfort and improved safety. And just like its Olympic brothers, theNacra 500 MK2is fully equipped with Harken™ hardware.
Made of sustainable materials,the new hulls feature a completely new wave piercer bow design. Strong and incredibly sturdy, hydrodynamic and sleek, they make the500 MK2go faster than the average beach cat, while staying as stable as a learning cat. Truly a new way of sailing.
