Wouter:
What is up with that purple "thing" you are wearing? Whatever it is, it makes your trapeze harness look like a big diaper .
And why dont you and your crew wear any gloves?

BTW, I saw a Taipan 4.9 at a short long-distance race last weekend (#186???). It was interesting to see how the FX1 compared to the 4.9. With Force 4 winds they where probably advantaged by sailing two-up, having a jib, and maybe having some more experience.
They finished 12th, I finished 16th (Out of 38).
Not to big a difference to upgrade I guess
