Why don't you ask the F16 boys on catsailor.com. I am sure Wouter would have those measurements floating around in his head.

Sound like you are getting serious.....

hi danny,
I think the regulated height of the kite hoist is 7.5 mtrs , the pole max length is 3.5 mtrs.
I read it on one of the european sites some time ago, so it may have been changed.

Is it permitted to use a spinnaker from another class, e.g. Nacra 14sq, on a Taipan 4.9?

Lets say that I am thinking of buying a Taipan and may have a spare Nacra spinnaker.

There is no class size for Taipan spinnakers. The only spinnaker class would be F16, so as long as kite is not bigger than F16 max 17.5m2 you could race as a F16.
