Hi Simon

I've extracted these numbers from the Taipan 4.9 rules and the AHPC site. They're probably about as accurate as the Mozzie figures I gave you!
Of course the Taipans have now changed their mainsail and I'm pretty sure these areas came from the old rules but lets not confuse things.

1, No of crew cat 1, sloop 2
2, No of crew on Trap cat 1, sloop 2
3, Min Weight of the boat incl sails etc in KG - cat 97kg, sloop 102kg
4, Overall length - 4.95m
5, Max Beam - 2.34m
6, Max mainsail and mast area combined - 1.28sqm + 13.7sqm
7, Vertical luff length of sail (luff len will do) - 8.05m
8, Jib Area - 4.2sqm
9, Vertical luff of the jib (Luff will do) - 5.04m
10, max allowed Spi area - 17.5sqm
11, Max authorised board area - 0.215sqm
12, Max allowed depth below the hull - 0.65m
