I'm pretty sure they will put whatever sail you want on it. The square top is performing a little better I guess. How do they compare going downwind (with spin.) not just in speed but also in handling? Thanks

Flying cat,

I will give a more detailed reply to this post on the F16 forum.

For now I will leave it at :

A link discussing the Nacra 17, FX-one and F16 by a guy who has experience with all named boats. Note that the Taipan F16 and Blade share the same mast and rig (The standard Taipan 4.9 has the same mast but noticeably different cut mainsail)

And my comment that I rate the Taipan as the more desireable boat out of the named two. Mostly because of its rig. The feel of it and the performance.
