I'll try and find out how you can try a Taipan in the UK.

I'm in Oz but as I understand it you guys can just jump in your cars an drive to Germany for the weekend. That may be one way.

Look at: http://www.taipan-sailing.de/english/index.html

Some nice photos on this site.

or contact the German agent for Taipan.

If any one else can help please do.

I've attached a nice photo of a cat rigged Taipan 4.9 for you to look at. This photo was taken at the Australian Taipan Championships in Adelaide South Australia.
