TASA EVENT QMSC

So is this an embryonic organisation struggling to get off the ground or
something that's been around a while and is fading?

It sounds a bit like what we'd call an open class obviously with the
restriction of having Assym rigs.

So would that in theory bring 49ers and other Skiffy things out into Open
water in more than a force 3 for a potential thrashing?

Just to confirm TASA has nothing to with LDC/RS. TASA is run by Alex Ford who works in the retail department and runs TASA in his spare time.

What I'd like, is a chance to take on those muppets in the 49ers with a bit
of a decent sea running, see if any of them could make the start line.

Then I'd like to be navigating a three sail reach in waves & surf watching
the MPS jockeys emulating Beechers at the Grand National pitch poleing
to the left and right of us. Then later as I came ashore after a successful
days racing in my nice new Alto picking my way through the flotsam and
jetsom of broken Cherub bits that never quite left the beach on my way
to the bar (sponsored by a beer company with a happy hour) to listen to
their bollox.

A few beers, a band, bit of a knees up afterwards...

Aah that's the recipe.

A Perfect event.

Hold it somewhere decent not some over sized gravel pit in the flight
path of Heathrow. Somewhere we can take the breadknives for a pleasant
weekend and they wont be bored out of their box whilst we're racing,
somewhere those 49er muppets will see ripples bigger than two foot
chop... But don't make it too scarey, you dont want to frighten off the
pink ladies in their MPS's.. dont worry about the Cherubim for they have
no brains to know fear with..

The K16 dvd has just popped through my letter box and straight onto the dvd player....it starts with Sten sailing upwind out on the wire, perfectly trimmed, doing a few tacks, then putting the kite up for a spot of downwind out on the wire....all with no rudder.  Presumably he got all he knows from you GRF?

Eh? Is he a windsurfer then?

I know nothing, other than how to race, with an inbuilt belief all men are
born equal so dont have quite the "respect" for "names" in the way others
might be psyched out by them. I like to take them on, it's the only way to
learn, and they're only kids anyway, most born long after I knew about as
much as there was to know about racing tactics.

But boat handling techniques?

Much to still learn there and where better than alongside em in a breeze?
