The Scottish Skiff Series have had the same discusion and boat eligiability is more based upon boat performance than whether a class has a kite and trap, hence the reason moths, 600s etc race within the series.

no dig taken, and it would be intimidating for a relatively inexperienced 3000 crew to approach the line in a large fleet with all the bigger boats bearing down on them ... i was looking at TASA's mission statement though

seems to me TASA are setting out to cater equally for the 'lower classes' and the elite ... maybe racing could be split into two fleets, with separate starts and sailing parallel courses ... i took part in the Laser multiclass championship at Rutland a couple of years back, for 2000s, 3000s, 4000s and 5000s ... 150 boats in all ... each class had its own start, slowest to fastest, with the 2000s and 3000s peeling off to a parallel windward/leeward course after the first beat, and the 4000s and 5000s racing the main course ... worked really well ... the 4000s were the main organisers i think

Hey

Firstly i'd like to say thank you to everyone who has been showing an interest in TASA so far all these suggestions will be taken and put forward at the next meeting.

Olly_love thanks for your support

Though in the class section we only seem to have double handers we welcome any trapeze and Asymmetric boat, you will also see no classes like the Vago and such on there but they have a trapeze and asymmetric so would be more than welcome to come!

49erHSC you make a very valid point which in many ways i agree with, However we are a new organisation just starting out and would like to have definate criteria, and the easiest banner that the boats we are aiming to get involved is that they are fitted with a trapeze and an asymmetric. If we get a large well established group of active members and turn out to events is consistently high and the B14 and 59er guys would be interested in joining TASA, i can see no reason why the criteria could not be re-assesed to include them!

Thanks once again for all your suggestions they are all duly noted and will be brought up at the next meeting.

hope this answers some questions

Agreed 49erHSC, the criteria for entry does seem a little arbitrary (ie the B14 is quicker than the majority of the boats on the list, but it is specifically excluded due to not having a trapeze).

Why don't you include single-handers? A Contender, a 600, have a trapeze and RS 700 and others have an asymmetric kite as well!

Basically it's a bit like Fastsail then...
Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer.

 Yes its me! and the lovely helm of my 14 is indeed Mr Noyce!

TASA is a non-profit organisiation with the aim of getting like minded boats out of the compounds and back together out on the water... not under the TASA banner as it were (though we would like our own training days and some racing) the club and the site are more to bring ppl together to get them to events (which some people don't even know are out there!).. and bring the publicity up for events as a one stop site for what events they can attend. (we are NOT trying to replace the Yachts and Yachting forum! not that i think it could ever be done!)

our first issue though is to drum up interest and class association backing as they can help publicise.. hit south coast clubs (and elsewhere) and unis again to drum up more boats and helm and crew... publicise avaliable events to try and get ppl going.

although it might seem like we are aiming it at 'dead' classes and non competetive boats, we welcome any boat as long as it has a trapeze and aysmmetric

I'll stop boring you and shamelessly plugging us now

though if you do want more info you know where i am!
