It is the development of other boats in relation to the old blurb that I refer to. Old blurb is no excuse..it is a website so update it.
Quote or direct us to the 'old' blurb or it no longer exists.
For that matter update the boat. making an entirely new platform truely will leave the 4.9 in the past.
I don't think you realise how the class stands in OZ..... You admit in previous posts that you know very little about the 4.9 and that you also have no one to race aginst in NZ.... Yet you feel qualified to pass these comments.
Firstly, it is the class members that make the decision to change... Not AHPC. The class is alive and well and its members are currently happy, so why change. Also, name another 16 footer without spinnaker that comes even close at the moment.
The Hobie 16 is way out of date.... Should they change.
Personly I think the hull shape of the Taipans are still up there with the best of them.
