Proposed Rule Changes - January 2019
16 January 2019
Please find below a copy of an email sent to all members of the
WTC in regards to proposed changes to the Tasar Class rules:
"For Distribution to each Tasar District. Please forward on to
the correct representative if not you.
Hello all,
Chris Payne, in his role as World Measurer, has
proposed changes to the
class rules.
These can be found in the attached document.
The rationale for the
rule changes are:
- Section 1 of the document is based around solutions concerning
the changes to the specifications
of the centreboard case
- Section 2 is in relation to replacing some of the current
interpretations in existence with rule changes, plus a
proposed change to the
compass rule.
- Section 3 is a proposed solution for the issue with fitting out
spars causing breakages in the new 29er boom section.
It is proposed to invoke the rule change through carrying out the following
process as described in the class rules:
B.4.2 Amendments to these class rules shall be approved by
both:
(a) The Tasar World Council, provided that it reports approval
by at least two thirds of the District Associations at Special
General Meetings thereof called for that purpose, or at Annual
General Meetings thereof, provided that no less than 60 (sixty)
days notice of
such proposed rule change has in each case been given.
(b) The Tasar Advisory Council.
The process will involve registering the vote of each district
through an online form by Saturday 2nd March (this being the
Special General meeting). The link to the online form is here for
information:

When each district has registered their votes, this will
then go to the WTC Executive Council and then to World Sailing for
ratification."
