Ok, Rick, heres the question:
Would a hooter be class legal on your Taipan 4.9 in F16hp?
If so why didn't you race it in your regatta?
I just got my 4.9 ( I'm the one everyone picked on at the Nationals, finishing Dead *&%## Last) and will consider getting a spin/hooter after (or if) I learn to sail it.
The ease of sail handling is a great plus...
If so, you racing with one against the spins would have been a great test to those of us on the fence.
Thanx
John
