The Tasar fleet in Aus is a far higher standard than the UK; you'd be hard pressed to find 50 Tasars in the UK to race ...

Shame really, the RS200 seems to be the default couples boat in the UK, in Aus it is the Tasar.

They have shown much better taste than UK sailors in this matter.

It suggests to me that comparing the performance of various dinghy classes is such an extraordinarily complex matter, dependent on things like design, ability within a different class, particular conditions and even such minor things as the difference between the psychology of the individuals when they are racing yardstick rather than OD, that there can never be any perfect system.
