[quote=cleanlivin]Looked for the Taipan .... don't want to import it.
Will keep looking daily to see if one pops up.
On the Blade/Falcon, from the cats available that I found in this mornings search, that's going to come in substantially above what I'm willing to put into a cat at this point. Might stretch to 6K but considering what a used Nacra or Prindle sell for, and the fact that I'll never race it, hard to make a strong argument in favor of them.
Surprised no one has suggested a Nacra 5.0, maybe 5.2 or Prindle. I have read one post in my search saying the 5.0 was underpowered relative to it's weight.
But my big concern is a cat being strong enough to take the surf yet light enough to be solo sailed by a Senior Citizen ...... hauling to/from trailer, beach; righting, stepping the mast.[/quote]
