Jib 33sq.ft. 3.07sq.m. Sailing the Tasar By Frank Bethwaite And Ian Bruce Introduction This manual has been written for the sole purpose of helping you to enjoy your Tasar to the fullest, regardless of your previous skills and experience. Section I shows you how to assemble and rig your Tasar. Section II deals with the basics of handling, sailing and maintaining your boat and is in tended primarily for those who have had limited experience with a light, planing sailboat. If you already have dinghy experience you will find Section II pretty simple stuff but we still recommend that you breeze through it as one or two points are peculiar to the Tasar. Once you and your crew are comfortable with the boat and confident in your ability to handle it afloat and ashore, it follows, inevitably, that you will seek to increase your knowledge because with it will come increased pleasure. In Section III we let you delve into the principles behind the evolution and design of the Tasar and, in particular, help you to more fully understand the importance of the over-rotating mast by reintroducing you to the basic aerodynamic principles of sails and sail shapes. Section IV is a detailed look at the upwind performance of the Tasar and the infinite control which can be exercised over the full spectrum of wind conditions.

  • Section IV Sailing to Windward 1 Sail Shapes and Flow Patterns - to Windward A) Moderate Airs Properly for Most of the Time, Will Arrive First at the Windward Mark
    Section IV Sailing to windward 1 Sail shapes and flow patterns - to windward a) Moderate airs properly for most of the time, will arrive first at the windward mark. If a sail is set correctly when sailing to windward, in a 5-9 knot breeze, the tufts and leech ribbons will all stream as in Fig. 31c. As the sheet is eased, the airflow begins to separate downstream from the mast on the windward surface of the sail, thus forming a separation bubble (Fig.31b). The more the sheet is eased, the bigger the bubble will grow (Fig.3la). As the aft edge of the bubble moves across a windward tuft, the tuft will agitate at random. When the aft edge of the bubble is aft of a windward tuft the tuft will reverse in the reversed airflow inside the bubble. The ideal is always to use the fullest sail Separation bubbles will similarly form on the setting at which the tufts and leech ribbons leeward surface of the sail if the sheet is pulled will remain streaming. In practise, this will in too far, (Figs.3ld & e) and their presence will call for about 10 - 11% when closehauled in similarly be indicated by the behaviour of the flat water. leeward tufts. b) Light airs When the apparent wind is less than about 4-5 knots, a different set of flow patterns occurs. The slower-moving air begins to behave like thick oil or syrup. Wind near the surface of the sail will slow down, lose momentum, and accumulate where it stops unless some force keeps it on the move.

You have got into one of the world’s great One Design dinghy classes. For over 40 years some of the world’s best sailors have battled it out in this class at some stage in their career and so too have countless fathers and daughters, mums and sons, husbands and wives, friends and relatives. The great thing about the Tasar is its simplicity. There aren’t many ropes to mess with and the rig is pretty simple. In fact we think there are some basic settings you can start with that are “set and forget” and will serve you well in all conditions. This is designed to get you going in the Class; enjoying your sailing without worrying about whether the boat is rigged properly. Sailing is much more fun after all, when you eliminate all the worries and preparation does that for you.
