To this day, the best looking cat around in my opinion.

So just to get things straight here, what exactly has been modified on the boat apart from wider beam, carbon mast (sooooo sweet), carbon rudders (also sweet) and new, customized sails? Has the sail area been increased in any way? What about the mast height, has it been increased? Are the hulls canted?

I remember you said you had some issues with the rudders early in the update progress, has that been sorted out? Sailing that thing in winds up to 25 knots must be a blast! Any high speeds logged to brag about at the after-regatta party?:)

You mentioned you will be making a new set of sails, my dad and I own a standard Taipan 5,7 and are planning on buying a new main from AHPC. Apart from a bigger roach, what would you change on a new main compared to the old stock? We also want to make a new pair of rudders for the boat, rudders with t-foils. What's your opinion on t-foils for the T5,7?


Thanks for the info!
