I met some guy there who had a tasar- he reckoned it was perfectomundo for

1) high winds you tend to get there- plane upwind, on the fetch, on the reach, on the run.

2) gusty, broken easterlies- no trapeze pandemonium

3) shifty- no kite to bin


The class has just approved nice mylars to fit in with the 9er branded boats

It is a beast in light, a pleasure in medium, and a joy in heaveir stuff .

I was so desprate to sail my I14 when I got it, I sailed it on the tiny 65 acre reservoir where I learned to sail years ago. Only about 2/3 of it is actually sailable and it is surrounded by trees making is gusty as hell, the fastest boat sailed on there is a laser. It was entertaining for a while though.

If we had tried the spin I think we would have been half was across the fields before the crew even got on the wire

Fizzist - have you thought about sailing it at Pennine just up the road? With the prevailing wind direction you'd have a better chance with the kite, we've got assymmetric Vortexes and L3000's, they manage fine. The winds are a bit steadier too
