Position Statements Dear my friends,
Happy New Year!
Several months have passed since I met friends at Lake Hamana-ko. As echoes of the event had gotten off into the distance, Japanese Tasar sailors had been back to their routine already. We have a lot of thanks to overseas sailors for their coming.
I hope that days that you spent with us at the lake will stay with you as a happy memory.
Ben and Thomas were really amazing! New heroes have come to our class. In the past Tasar Worlds, we also had heroes; the McKee brother, Mr & Mrs Renehan, Mr Young and so forth. In spite of their skill or records, they were modest and intent on sailing. They gave us a good stimulus for improving our sailing skill and a delight of being a challenger. They would keep being loved by many Tasar sailors. Not only the heroes but people who enjoy sailing Tasar are very important to make a great event. Many couple teams and parent-children teams bring our class a unique atmosphere; consideration, warm heart, cooperation and etc. This reminds me a sense of family. I love
it and hope for the continued success of our class.
I wish to introduce Mr Yasuzawa, my successor as President of JTA. All of our officer change to new faces. I hope that you will give them the same support and friendship as I have received.
So, this is my last position statement. Thank you for your effort and patience.
Have a good sailing in this wonderful millennium!
Hope see you again soon!
Takumi Ozawa
Past President of JTA and World Tasar Council
