The Nacra 5.2 is an American catamaran sailing dinghy that was designed by Tom Roland as a one-design racer and first built in 1975. Other than the small production run Nacra 36, the Nacra 5.2 was the first Nacra brand boat and established its reputation.[1][2][3]

The Nacra 5.2 design was superseded by the Nacra 5.5 in the company's product line in 1979.[1][4]
