Indeed the Taipan and sorts like the Bimare 16 and Stealth have boards that go less deep noticably. The F18 daggers and I-20 daggers go almost 1 mtr deep (3 feet) next is the Stealth at 0,75 mtr. (2 ft 12 inches), then the Taipan and bim at 0,65 mtr (=2 feet + 1 inch)
Also A-cat baords don't run deep= somewhere between 0,6 and 0,75 mtr. while the I_17R and FX-one singlehanders are near to 1 mtr. again.
0,65 mtr. deep water reaches just above the knee. I don't think that laser 1's can sail in water that is less deep than that.
