After what seems like forever, my Taipan 4.9 is finally finished and will hit the water in a fortnight, or if I have my way, one week.

Starting building a couple years ago, but work always got in the way, and took me away. But a change of jobs had helped over the last months, and journey is almost complete.

Can't wait for the first sail. Will try and post a photo taken today with the mast up for the first time, will finish putting the rest of the fittings on this week.

Regards

Matt

Hey Matt,

I found a bit of information. Just click Submit reply and go into the UBB code is on* icon. It is explained in there.

It's a bit hard for me to understand however, i Hope this helps you.

Might see you this weekend at The Lake for the Cat Challenge, should be a few Hervey Bay boats coming,(Including myself)!

Happy Building,
Warrick

Thanks for the tip Warrick,

But I'm down in Victoria, so not hopeful of making it to The Lake.

Would like to though.

Regards

Matt

Well done Matt. I look forward to the photos.

Can't be too many new taipans hitting the water these days.

Needless to say you will have taken out insurance before she leaves your yard.

Hi Phil

Just to correct you 5 brand new 4.9s have just hit the water.
They where built by the AHPC factory.

From what I have heard the new owners are over the moon with the boats.

You should check out the web site www.taipan.asn.au or www.ahpc.com.au

Hi Phill, Sam.

Still haven't tried posting photos will try it out later tonight.

Can't get the Nationals unfortunatly, middle of harvest, and will be hard to get away, as we are short staffed as it is.

Regards

Matt

I think I am now dumber than I was before reading about adding images. Think Homer.
