Do you know if anyone has tried an F16 optimized sail plan (smaller jib, bigger square top on main) on the Taipan as opposed to its stock "grandfathered" sail plan? If so, any benefit other than being able to rig a self tacker? Otherwise, why would you want to give up the grandfathered sail area? I'm not crazy about the jib blocks on the tramp of the Taipan. I guess the rope loops that act as the block "traveller" are better than a bunch of cables. But blocks/cleats on the crossbar are a lot tidier.
