G'Day Paul,

Should introduce myself first. The name is Peter. The username is a takeoff on the name of my boat which is Sting.

Haven't gone F16...yet. It is on the agenda for this year over winter. Still weighing the options, since it appears that a Mozzie with kite will whip a Taipan 4.9 without kite, but will be left behind if the Taipan hoists a kite.

So I need to think carefully about which is the right way to go. Kite the Mozzie or get into a different F16. Like I said, my daughter loves Taipans..., so if I can have your free Taipan and undertake the world longest delivery cruise.

BTW, do you remember a couple of years back an Australian teenager, Jessie Martiun sailed solo round the world? His introduction to sailing was when his Dad loaded Jessie and his younger brother onto their Hobie and sailed from Autralia to Papua Newe Guinea. Thus proving that cat sailors are crazy! At least that's the story that goes around down here.

Cheers
