First, I am not pretending to be an expert. I want to develop a fast, light beach cat that is easily righted by me alone and that I can be dry on and extend myself. There are no F16s anywhere near me to race and I am posting this because the cat I am starting with is a Taipan 4.9. It is an older boat and needs a birthday. I have bought a second hand A class carbon mast and will take advantage of about two extra feet of height. I will have a fat top main and a roller furling larger original size jib and no genny. The attachment included is of the most controversial change to this boat. I have had these wings made and aim to also fit a curved main track. I am hoping that in return for any constructive comments I will follow through with how this turns out so you can take from it what you might.
