Twin trapped under kite on a Taipan with a Taipan stick (lower hounds) about 160kg on board.

Chris P and I did it a few years back at Tradewinds (and won)... Taylor was following us the entire time yelling that our mast was about to break... I think he just wanted us to slow down.

Done properly, they can handle it. That said, we have also broken a mast doing it (okay so it was Chris and Dan... weighing 100kg each ;-). Officially I wouldn't recommend it.... Much like you aren't supposed to drive 200 Mph...... still can be fun though

Is anyone had a hands on experience? First shipment wa back in Dec

they are sailing it now @ the thailand regatta [varuna yacht club]

I'll be in Thailand, will try to go for a sail and report back

Thanks Jeff, looking forward to hear from you. I've ordered mine but it'll takes 6 months for delivery. Really want to know how it sails.

Haven't sailed it yet, but in person the boat looks awesome. Gunnar and Coen are both sailing them here- can't think of better test pilots!

I hear its an Infusion mast, (shorter obviously). what the F is nacra thinking there?!

Karl, you are aware you are an AHPC dealer and you're dumping on another providers product, right?

You're right Dave.



Dear NACRA,

I'm sorry for questioning the wisdom of putting a stiff ass mast on a little light boat.

Thanks,
Karl Brogger
