The TANSW Traveller's Trophy (TT) events and Metro Series are sailed at a range of clubs throughout the season and combine to form one series. This is a great way to see other Tasar clubs around NSW and not only race and learn from each other, but enjoy the social aspect of the Tasar class as well.

Saturday
- Balmoral `Balmoral Sailing Club (BSC) is at the south-eastern end of Balmoral Beach and our sailing area is vast. Our PROs know how to use the large area to ensure that we maximise our sailing opportunities. There is a large grassy area for rigging boats, and boats are launched and retrieved straight off the beach. Racing is on Saturday afternoons from September to May. Our start time is 1300 in Sept, and 1400 from Oct to May. Although competitive, the BSC sailors are friendly, supportive and sharing when it comes to learning more about the rigging and sailing of the Tasar. Looking forward to seeing you there'!

- Port Macquarie see Queens Lake above
- Northbridge
Northbridge Sailing Club, located in upper Middle Harbour provides a fabulous venue for competitive racing in a community environment. These very waterways inspired Frank Bethwaite to develop the Tasar (see How the Tasar Started). Most Sundays we have 4-6 tasars racing and there is secure, covered storage at the club for up to 12. Given the easy rigging and deep water access from the club's pontoon, you can arrive and be on the water in 30 minutes, with starts just off the club in the prevailing NE breezes. We have a competitive fleet with a history of National and World Champions as well as several "inter-generational" crews racing making for a great family afternoon out and providing plenty of stories to tell. Races start 2pm on Sundays - moving to 2:30pm during the three months of summer. Come join us - Tony Stephens tony.stephens4@gmail.com
- Canberra - Canberra Yacht Club races on Sunday afternoons in summer and winter, and the YMCA SC races on Saturdays. Both clubs run professional learn to sail and racing courses through the summer. The ADFA and ANU sailing clubs both have racing Tasars and join-in with the public clubs. With world, national, and state champions living in Canberra the standard of racing can vary from novice to expert. The ACT Dinghy Championship around the middle of November is often a NSW Travellers Trophy event. The lake offers good fresh water sailing in the nation's capital. Twilight racing also takes place on Tuesday (YMCA SC) and Wednesday (CYC) evenings at 6 pm. Contact - TBA
- Kogarah Bay KBSC has up to 3-4 boats racing most Sundays this year. `We kick off at 2pm every week and visitors are welcome to join us any time'. Cliff Lewis clifflewis54@optusnet.com.au
- Georges River Sailing Club GRSC offers clear air sailing either out on Botany Bay or at the mouth of the Georges River, hosting both a sandy beach and vast grassy areas for rigging. Commanding sweeping views over the Bay, GRSC maintains modern facilities including bar, dining and function room. Downstairs there is a café, club room and boat shed with direct access to male and female toilet and change rooms.` We sail alternate Handicap, Championship and Sprint Series races on Sundays through the months of Sept to April, starting at 1pm. Visitors are most welcome'! Mark Hooper mark@m101.net.au
