Thanks, guys, for the tips. But I am looking to buy a new boat in Europe (Netherlands, Ireland or Germany, not a used Taipan in the U.S.
I just wanted to know the pros & cons of the Taipan (F-16 / 4.9) and the Spitfire.
So, if one of you European catsailors could chime in??
If you are interested in a new or 2nd hand Spitfire in mainland Europe contact
www.france-catamaran.comI love my Spitfire - it is a beautiful cat to sail and race. In lil old Ireland, it still does OK against the F18s.
