I looked back during a race once and saw a Taipan 4.9. He was back a ways though!!
Just kidding. Actually, I saw a Taipan 4.9 last Spring. Beautiful boat! If they sailed them here, I would buy one, but we sail the I17R here. We have five locally now. So, that makes the I17R the " best " boat.
Happy Sailing,
Tom
Attached you will find two I17R's running for the finish line! The problem is I'm the trailing boat.
