 Topic: Tasar is 30!Posted: 09 May 06 at 3:34pm |

Yeah, you won't be planing, the 59er will. The tasar will upwind too. A light crewed up tasar will plane up wind in 9knts breeze. In the Uk people spend a lot of time in the summer sailing in less than 14 knts breeze- not true? ...BTW I also like the B14 , the 505 and if younger would go sail 18ft skiffs.....at a push I will say the l4000 and RS400 are pretty good and offer excellent UK fleets. but these two boats- one being a direct descendent of course of the tasar and it's own predecessors- are very good for developing your crew and your own sailing skills- and er, having fun ! |

Datchet seemed to operate a 'they were members before they abanded their boats to rot and scarpered so one day they'll come back and were keeping everything here until then' policy when we checked a similar issue last weekend. Good luck though. |

There is what appears to be an abandoned red Tasar in the boat park at Datchet Water SC. It used to look OK but has suffered over at least 10 years oof neglect. I think that the mast (perhpas just the top section) is bent. Call the club office and see if it's abandoned or they have the owner details ? Good luck Richard |

Hi guys It might be thirty years old but they do last very well. Iam after a very cheap Tasar in repairable condition parts or hull only, any leads to abandoned boats or bits would be greatly apppreciated. I would be prepared to travel long distances. Thanks guys Rod Ph 01276 29158 |

I'm not sure about the vintage car comparison. Most old cars I've owned/driven are pretty dreadful. I think the Tasar, although being 30, is probably better than many popular modern one designs. Its design brief ( sparkling performance, no kite, light weight, non macho crews, etc), and its subsequent execution/production did not come about by accident or back of a fag packet doodle. Its a direct result of the clear understanding of performance sailing dinghies by the designer, Fank Bethwaite. Its a case of technical excellence over marketing It then comes as no surpise that the 49er & 29er are winners. The 59er is a dark horse and I see the Tasar history is repeating its self. The B14 is 20 years or so old but nevertheless a brilliant design. Take look at the Bethwaite web site. Thankfully, their boats are better than the web site. This company is pushing performance sailing into new areas and for that I applaud them.

It's really odd in sailing isn't it?
I mean we swap cars for newer, often better models and the vast majority don't bother with vintage stuff from the 1950s and 60s. I think an open transom on the tasar would make it look bang up to date. The boat - tasar- totally disses the RS200, laser 2 and 2000 While the 59er will make light work of 505s and cherubs etc in under 10 knts breeze. |

I've recently bought a Tasar to club race with my kids ( 11 and 15 years old). Its perfect for them. The boat with its nice see through sails looks sharp, its a treat to sail, its techy and it is a real dark horse. I'm beginning to wonder if most of the other SMOD manufacturers have been asleep for the last 30 years. Perhaps we will also begin to realise the 59er is a good boat in thrity years time !
