What celebrations are planned for the Tasar 30th this year?

Worlds in Thailand going to happen?

20 years ahead of it's time! so that makes it as new as many STAssODs

If only the weather would improve so that us two mature gentlemen could learn the boat we will be able to tell you just how good they are. What we do know is that we can hold RS 300 reaching on a gust and that after 3 hours sailing we are not knackered cripples as we always were with the Laser 2 it replaced.

If the taser is 30, do the new trannie sails represent some sort of mid life crisis?

Dear Mr Air, dead or not. You imply that 30 years for a Taser is "mid" life. This gives it a life span of  60 years which is rather presumptuous of you. Mylar is for SAILORS going through a mid life crisis. Example, middle aged man in purple wet suit, quietley to good friend, "er., do we look like a 29er from the far end of the lake?" friend, " Mylar has the same reflective properties as you bald head so no!?"   Dacron for us boys we know were old and proud of it. Sagalouts for ever!

Apologies for the misunderstanding.

I now appreciate that it is more of a reflection on the type of people who sail the boat, than of the vessel itself.

Is that some outlandish Scandanavian oath?

Actually my Tasar will have its happy 30th next year, and the way it's going with a little work it should still be around and competitive in another 30!

I was just thinking, what with al the debate about womens olympic classes and what not, how about the Tasar replacing the 470, the 29xx for mixed crews, the 49er for men, the Byte CII for ladies, 79er as mens and womens keel boat, eerrrr and i suppose we could stick with the laser for men, for now.

The following public service announcement was bought to you in association with Bethwaite boats inc.  I'm sure there is a serious point in here somewhere? 

I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

The terrifying thing about the Tasar being 30 is that it - especially with the upgrade to the rags - still looks pretty much like a state of the art boat...
