Does anyone no what happened to the AHPC Taipan 4.3? It was designed to be a catamaran for smaller crews and single sailors.

A prototype was made and only partially developed. The boat was sold off to someone and AHPC never pursued it further. All several years ago.

I spoke to Jim Boyer about it a while ago when he was shutting shop and I bought a heap of ply and things of him. I think he said it was sold to a lady (not sure why it was sold) and she sailed it once or twice and he said it scared the crap out of her and she didn't sail much after that. (I would have tried to buy it back)

But he did say that he wished he had never sold it.

We did talk about how it would have have fitted in somewhere and possibly been a reasonable success. I hinted that I would like to put one together, but he didn't want to bite.

Regards
