Nacra Sailing is a Dutch company that manufactures a line of small catamaran sailboats, or beachcats.

The racing series was the original source of the NACRA acronym (North American Catamaran Racing Association), which was carried over when he decided to build a scaled down and more commercial version of his big one-design racer.

[3] In 1975 he launched the new company with the Nacra 5.2, a 17-foot beach cat, which was an unusual design that featured plumb bows, daggerboards, and a highly tunable sail plan with a fully battened loose-footed main sail.

In 2007 the company was acquired by a group in the Netherlands and today operates as Nacra Sailing.

[8] In 2012 Nacra Sailing won the design competition held by World Sailing, the world governing body for the sport of sailing recognized by the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee, for a new Olympic racing catamaran, the Nacra 17, which was used in the new for 2016 Olympic Mixed Multihull class, which requires one male and one female sailor per boat.
