Well I believe its worth it. I will that, and I know its a different class, but the Taipan class was dominated by Noel Grellet on his timber taipan, in last couple of years he has been beaten by a glass boat, and has had to settle for 2nd. But there is absolutly no difference, if the boats had not dropped their worst result from the score card, he would be 1st, he has won something like 10 of the last 14 national and state titles, pretty good if you ask me #003 timber vs #326 composite.
