Dear Tim, are you saying that clam cleats are legal on the kicker? £750 for sails!! we are the original long in the tooth budget sailors so dacron will do. We are sexy enough already. I have fitted a simple jib halyard system which maintains the original geometry and retains the furler so that the dacrons will last even longer. We will try and make a training day, we certainly need it.

Hi Tickel

I use the big North American style clam cleats CL207 on the kicker, it never falls out and is easy to adjust. Alternatively the new clam cleat keepers should also solve your problem. The new jib has a halyard so a mere £750 for a set of the sexy mylar sails could make you look even cooler and be class legal.

Derbys not far from Oxford. There will be a training day there in July, just arranging now. There are 3 new boats there this season, 5 in total. Another one will be at Bartley when the 3 boats there can get a date sorted. Hope you can get to one of them.

I think the mast shape and bendyness is a bit of a 'too far ahead of it's time'- these days it would be in carbon (probably break more often though)

But you have not discovered the virtues of the BLNS- the bloody long narrow diameter shackle.

Put this on the tack with the jib attached to mast as per manual. Lift mast over vertically in place with the shourds all the way forward. Now pull hard down the jib luff wire and attach tack to roller drum. Jobs a good un.

You can still use your halyrad system as a temporary overnight forestay- connect it up, roll the boat over in the water and unclip the jib.

Dear  Mr Porteous I did meet your wife at the Tiger and I believe you at the Dinghy Show. The trouble is that all Tasar opens are a very long way from Derbyshire and we are still rubbish. Perhaps not this year but maybe next if my decrepit body stays in one lump!!

Hi DS

I can loan you a Tasar no problem.

 Unfortunately, despite our relaxed approach to self certified measurement I think the Cherub would be spotted !

Go on give give the Tasar a go , Despite all of its 30 year old faults !!

Would love to come to your Nationals, but don't own a Tasar. Will a Cherub measure?
