They just discovered a new species of taipan just the other side of Ayers Rock. That makes 4 species, and probably just as poisonous.

How many new species of Hobie or Nacra have been found lately, I wonder?

hi Phil,
At the last census the figures were something like
Hobie 11 species.
Nacra 11 species.
All are in fine shape, and continuing to maintain a high visibility, maybe some not as quick as other types, but out there having a great time.
I believe that time not spent sailing, is time wasted

PS,
I forgot the new Nacra 36 seen on the water at Hamilton Island,that one is a whole new thing. Charles Darwin was right in his belief "The Origin of Species"
