Stephen,

The Taipan 4.9 is no longer produced.

But indeed the Taipan 4.9 upgraded to an F16 was always an expensive offer.

AHPC's replacement of the Taipan is the Viper F16 and it is projected at 19.500 Aus when fully fitted with everything that a F16 sailor would want. Spinnaker, selftacker, pentex etc.

Blade F16 (Australian produced) is going for the same retail price when equally fitted out.

Tailers are not included in this.

(now I'm going off and try to do some landyachting !)
