Not to shoddy for a 4.3m cat sailing on a VYC yardstick of 78 and still dropping when most other 14' cats sail on yardsticks in the high 80's or low 90's?

Darryl (or someone), out of curiosity, what is a Taipan 4.9 Mk 2? Am I reading this correctly? I haven't seen this designation before. Is a Mk 2 what we would consider a regular 4.9, and how does it differ from a Mk 1? What's the history here?

Taipan Mk 1 is sailed one up, cat rigged, and a Taipan Mk 2 is sailed two up sloop rigged.
the cat rigged Mk 1 has a VYC yardstick of 76.5, and the Mk 2 sloop rigged's yardstick is 74

Ok, thanks Darryl. I understand now. It was the nomenclature that threw me.

Mark.
