Six sister-ships have circumnavigated. Tai-Pan has many added features for offshore blue water sailing, including: two extra cockpit drains (incase she gets pooped), Aries self-steering windvane, 6 new staylock stay connectors, back stay with insulator for SS Radio antenna, inner forestay for storm sail or inner stay sail, one tri-sail with separate mast track installed, one removable bow sprit for flying asymetrical sail with sock, manual water pump (along with electric pump), three solar panels for three separate battery banks. Why am I selling Tai-PanAfter eight years reconditioning this boat with my heart, soul, and every penny i had, I met my future wife. Unfortunately, she cannot swim and is afraid of the water. She won in the end, and we are now raising our new child high in the mountains of the Philippines. And thus, this very special boat is now desperately in search of a new caretaker.
