Tasar

The Tasar was designed by the fabled Frank Bethwaite to be sailed by a man and a woman. It delivers exciting performance without spinnaker or trapeze. The hull has a fine angle at the bow to reduce wave impact clean and sharp chines at the rear to induce quick and stable planing.

The foam cored hull is stiff and very light with a rotating wing mast and fully battened main sail. The Tasar is able to plane upwind for amazing rides. The wide beam and a cockpit designed for comfortable hiking make the Tasar easy, fun and very exciting to sail in winds all wind conditions.
