So how did the 4.9's do? I went to check out the race on saturday and heard from the comodore there was 4 or 5 Taipans... only got to talk to one of the 4.9 sailors from Tampa? (Seath?)who was sailing one up with his new boat. The rest were out there racing till the afternoon storm came in fast and shut everything down. What a fire drill that was huh?

So those of you who raced...how did you like your boats performance in those conditions? How did it fend in comparison to the other types of boats out there? Honesty please...LOL...no embelishing...LOL...I am curious, as those are typical conditions for where I like sail. My old Supercat 17 use to love sloppy conditions like that. Wondered if you felt the Taipan 4.9 was a little bit out of it's element in short confused seas?

My neighbor, Conner V. (teenager)won one of the open classes, I believe, on an old prindle 15.
