Me too.

After finally selling my Nacra F18, I took delivery of my 4.9 Taipan last Friday and had my first sail on Saturday. Sensational - as close to an A Class as you can get.

It has an unused first-generation spinnaker kit, which I will upgrade to current systems and do some uni-F16 stuff down the track - probably next season.

If finances permitted, it would be A-Class all the way. Before the Nacra, I had 3 Boyer A's (III, V and IV) but the Taipan 4.9 is more in line with my current levels of fatness, ageness, fitness and poorness.

The Nacra was just a BIG mistake - agricultural and HEAVY. Why F18s need to be 180kg when the tough-as Taipan 5.7 was only 135kg is beyond me....
