The Tasar

A Tasar at the '96 Worlds Photo:Sue Wehba

TASAR is an acronym for `Totally And Simply All-round Racing'. The Tasar carries two crew, though it is possible to sail her single-handed in light to moderate breezes. By design, the Tasar does not carry a trapeze or spinnaker. Nonetheless the Tasar offers creditable performance when  compared to other two-person dinghies. 

The Tasar is a strictly controlled one-design class that is sailed all round the world, but particularly in Australia, North America, Japan and the UK.
