Not sure I could give up the Taipan, I spent two years part time building it, it has served me well and I enjoy sailing it, I will no doubt do a few club races with the Mosquito, as I wait for a new design rear beam to be released or replace my existing traveller car, with another from Goodalls which may involve buying a new rear anyway, so I may as well wait for the new release, I'm told possibly 6 months away. I sailed a Mosquito prior, I still have it also, and my brother has one as well at my parents farm, stored away and waiting for renovation.

I bought the Mosquito 'Sticky Finger' as it has history with a very good family friends of mine, I knew it would probably go to waste after it was evited from its shed, I will more than likely sell the Mosquito eventually, hopefully to a local. I need to first make a couple of minor repairs and repaint the decks at least and buy and fitout a new mast.
