in other news the taipan moulds are coming back to Oz, the price of a new taipan is about to rise significantly!
Another misinformed comment.
So, how much will a set of Taipan hulls set us back? Tim has it right, the difference between building a Mosquito hull and Taipan hull is almost zip.
Its the rig that seperates the two, the mast is the major cost difference. I wouldn't be looking to change from the Mossie has now. The difference is easily $2000+ (mast only)
I was at the AHPC factory in January getting the grand tour, it was what Brett told us at the time, something may have changed in the last month or so.
the reasoning was the builder only wants to build them in batches, but so few taipans are being sold they cant get enough orders to make it viable. its not like the c2 or viper that have good demand for them.
if the moulds are here then a single boat can be built, the downside is the labour cost is a lot higher.
