Changes
in Class Rules Approved by ISAF to be effective March 1, 2005
We have just been advised that the ISAF Council approved the
proposed changes in the Tasar Class Rules at their meeting in
November 2004, to be effective March 1, 2005.
The wording of the new and revised sections is now included
in the class rules, and is summarised below.
Shroud pull backs
C.2.2. (k): "A
simple line and block purchase system with a mechanical advantage
of two may be attached to each shroud
slide to assist movement of the slide. A turning block which
does not increase the mechanical advantage may be added immediately
aft of the track. With the slide fully forward and the line fully
extended aft, the distance from the aft end of the track to the
bearing point of the pull back handle shall not exceed 150 mm."
Length
of mainsheet strop
C.2.3 (d): The mainsheet shall be rigged with
either 4 or 5 parts active. The mainsheet strop length shall be
not less than 240 mm, measured bearing point to bearing point of
the strop, and may be substituted with line. The strop shall not
be adjustable in length. The strop may be fitted above or below
the mainsheet block system.
Hounds to deck measurement
F.1.5.: The
measurement from the bearing point at the hounds to the deck
immediately in front of the mast
step shall not be less than 3720 mm.
Support for
top mast
F.3.2.: The top mast shall be
supported on an insert located and supported by the upper
diamond bolt and having
the same cross section as the top mast sleeve.
Adjusting forestay
and shrouds while sailing
C.8: Safety
C.8.1: The overall length of
the forestay and shrouds may only be changed while the boat is
either on shore or at a
dock.
