Just had a quick glance at the website... If entry is only open to single trapeze assymetric boats why is there a tasa branded I14 on the home page?

In fact, looking down your 'Classes' list half the boats listed are twin wire boats, and the rest seems be a mix of singlehanders, singlehanders with kites, doublehanded single trapeze boats and a doublehanded hiker!

What kind of target group are you trying to attract exactly? can anyone come?

There's also a picture of a 12 foot skiff on the homepage but it's not listed on the classes page...what's the situation with 12s?

The desicion to cancel the King George event was taken by the club due to the apparent lack of interest, and a lack of communications from TASA. With only a few days to go, there were four boats pre-registered for the event- which included the Commodore and Rear Commodore. The club did not feel it was worth gambling on going ahead with the event, and called off the rescue, race officer and catering teams.

 

I hope that TASA does manage to get itself back on its feet, but it has some work to do in restoring good-will.

I think Richard has just spotted a gap in his trophy room and decided he wants it filled with a TASA trophy.

I've just joined this lot, it looks interesting, the sort of thing we should
have a bash at, if I can persuade Jumanji that we wont fall off the edge of
the planet if we leave Kent.

I could see it being competitive if it was a bit breezy, but in any other
condition I can't see anyone in a 4000 or an ISO getting remotely excited
by a 500.

So what is TASA all about then?

Do they set courses that specifically favour Assyms?

Isn't it half the fun taking on Syms and alternatively thrashing or being
thrashed by them due to circumstances not entirely within your control?

Do they run the event and calculate awards on corrected time as well as
placing over the water, or both?

We might even have our new boat by then, but that presumably wouldn't
be fair on the others..

GRF I did the first Tasa event at Weston SC, it is mainly populated by old dying Assy classes such as Boss's 5000's and penny 14's.  As well as a sprinkling of cherubs and current rules 14's.  Good racing as it was WL course, great water unfortunately the organisation seems a little poor we travelled 3 hours on the promise of the event and evening entertainment and we could camp in the car in the compound.  This never happened as they decided not to put food or evening do on leaving us in the lurch, second event we had boat packed ready to go and find out on here that it was cancelled even after pre entering no one bothered to call me to cancel! In theory a great idea in practice it needs more commitment and organisation.

TASA is now associated with LDC?

Certainly looking like it ... especially with the official looking email address!!
