I would try to come too. Hard to commit at this point - but sailing these things with a chute is fun.
Just did the Hirams Haul which was 25 miles down the Indian River and then 25 back up the next day. Super fun race on the Taipan. Mavis had been planning on sailing, but Lucy woke up sick the day of the race, so I sail F16 uni. Lots of fun. The boat can really get in a zone going downwind - when you get the wind angle/wind speed right, she will wild thing like crazy. Incredible speed and you feel like you are running dead down wind.
The week before Hirams we sailed F16 sloop around the buoys with a new Nacra F18, Inter 18, and Hobie Tiger --- pretty much racing boat for boat. You gotta love how flexible and fast the Taipan is!
