... we are both sitting on the windward taipan hull.
No doubt about that. I do indeed consider myself a Taipan sailor. The Taipan was the first design of a line of boats that I really do love. And it will always be the father of what came after.
I thoroughly enjoy sailing my Taipan F16 and it will stay with me for several more years.
And then I will switch too.
The rest, I'm sorry to say, is now a mute point from my perspective.
With kind regards,
Wouter
