Our Australian Taipan 4.9 sailors have dilligently gethered info and tips about tuning the Taipan rig (and Blade rig).

It contains a wealth of got tips and while all sailors eventually need to adjust these to their particular combination of weight, sail design and way of sailing, these tip do very much get you into the game and mostly likely make you alot faster around the course.
