Hello,
I was wondering whish section of the Taipan Mast is sealed for flotation. And also does the Taipan have a tendency to turtle if not righted quickly.

Thanks

Gday

Mine is sealed from above the internal plate that hold the internal downhaul to the top, so I think about 1500mm from the bottom to the top, as for turtling, a friend of mine and taipan owner says he doesn't think he has seen one upside down, and he sails with a good fleet and at titles.

Regards
