Contrary to common belief, the Taipan is not a recently designed boat. The idea was the brainchild of Jim Boyer and Greg Goodall in 1894. It was on a trip for a world championship on class A, where Jim and greg were sailing on a catamaran called Mosquito...

1999 Taipan 4.9 Sloop, AHPC
- Description
Seller's Description
Built 11/99, 102 kg (!), 13,7,sqm mainsail, 4,2 sqm roller furling jib (Dacron red-brown), new (!) gennaker 17 sqm with spi snuffer, 2,34 m wide, mast height 8,5 m, full tarpaulin, slip car, hull supports. Hulls are made of GRP with double layer Kevlar and are tight. Carbon rudder blades and centerboards. No gelcoat cracks.
A Cat with a history: when Glen Ashby came to Europe for one of his A-Cat championship regattas in 2001, he still had room at Shipping for the Taipan he had assembled himself and sailed with his girlfriend. He brought it with him to sell here. The Taipan was so excellently tuned that I could not resist. To this day, I am thrilled with the ease with which the Taipan handles on the water - and also on land. I have never regretted the purchase and have had a lot of fun with it for many years - both alone and in pairs. It is the ideal Cat for mixed crew.

Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

GREAT CATAMARAN for either single handing or two-up. 231 pounds all up according to the manufacturer. 141 pounds lighter than the Prindle 18-2 I used to sail. The lightweight and boards make this a very competitive boat as many times I can out-point the competition to the "A" mark. Equipped with the spinnaker & pole and all the accompanying ...

I think I payed about 12.000 Euro's in total compared to about 15.500 euro's for a commercially build Taipan. (remember these are European prices as we have high taxation so could well be less for US builders). Point being you will not say too much in relation to buying a commercially available boat.
4.9 Cat. The simplest and purest form of the Taipan - the perfect weapon for Club and Regatta racing. The 4.9 cat combines the best of performance and durability. As happy in 8 knots as in 22, and thanks to the highly tuneable rig, it accommodates both light and heavy sailors with aplomb. Currently the largest Taipan fleet and sailed nationwide.

dssaak. Taipan 4.9 would be considered first generation F16 I would think. According to the ratings a Taipan 4.9 with spin carries an F16 rating. This one does not appear to be equipped. with a spin. The ol 'Free Trailer' selling point. All the pictures are stock factory photos-I would be weary.
