News from the TAUK AGM TAUK supports proposal to reduce the minimum hull weight The UK Tasar Association has adopted a minimum hull weight of 66 kg for UK-only events, and would be happy to see this implemented at the world level. However, at the TAUK AGM on July 30, TAUK members also decided that if World Tasar Class Association keeps the minimum hull weight at 68 kg, TAUK will revert to that hull weight. (Note: Since 5 of the 10 Tasar districts have voted not to approve the reduction in hull weight, the minimum weight in Class Rule D3 will remain at 68 kg for now. A decision will be made at the next World Council meeting, to be held in Victoria, BC, in June, 2003, on whether to ask districts to vote on a reduction in this weight.) TAUK not in favour of changing crew weight rule TAUK members discussed the various proposals that have been put forward for changing the crew weight rule, including the proposal from the Japan Tasar Association. The general view was that there is no need to change the current crew weight rule. There was no enthusiasm for any consideration of crew height when looking at equalization. There was no objection to regional variations in the crew weight rule. Richard Spencer Posted 2002-09-04 |
