First Release of  Signal Locker's Tasar Catalogue...  (Sept 14th) Sailors new to the Tasar often have trouble identifying the parts they need for their boat from our pricelist. So we have spent the last few months working on a full spare parts catalogue with photos of every part. You can download the first issue by clicking on this link...

TASARSAILING Catalogue - First Issue

We plan to replace the existing price list with version 2 of this catalogue in the first week of October.  More details to follow shortly.

London Dinghy Show 2011... (March 15th)                                 We were allocated a really good location at Alexandra Palace this year: a large stand directly between the Ovington 49ers and the RS200 and 800. In our opinion the Tasar put them all in the shade!   The UK Tasar  Association stand featured a new boat (supplied by Signal Locker), which attracted a lot of attention.  We met a number of people who had just acquired Tasars and we were very happy to see many old friends who stopped by for a chat. The stand was manned throughout the weekend by Tasar sailors from Stewartby, Porthpean, Babbacombe, and Whitstable fleets.  It is hard to overstate the difference between a boat show stand manned by sailors and one manned by salesmen - many thanks to everyone who made the Tasar stand such a fun place to be!

New style whisker pole end...   (Nov 20th)         We visited Balmoral Sailing Club in Sydney earlier this year and took about 100 photos of how the Aussies set up their boats. As a result we have made a number of changes to the standard UK Tasar fit-out  -  see our New Boat Page.   We can launch our version of the Australian whisker pole inboard fitting. As you can see there is no piston  -  in its place is a longer hook and (in our case) an angled nylon bung.  These pole ends will be available from December 1st, and will be £23.50.  Our standard pole will have this new static hook at the inboard end and the RWO piston at the outboard end. Hope you like it!

          

RCB track retro-fit kit...  (Nov 19th)                     Some Tasar sailors have bitten the bullet and fitted the RCB track retro-fit kit.   The kit price is £490.21, though TAUK members will get a discount on the standard Ronstan fittings included, bringing the price down to.....£440 plus postage and packing.   The instructions on how to fit the tracks, and a description of the contents of the kit can be downloaded from the Tasar Technical page; or by clicking HERE.     We hope that even if you don't fit RCB tracks to your boat, you will enjoy reading all about fitting them...  'These instructions are better than my Sunday paper' according to one loyal Tasar sailor.

Ronstan / Harken Discount for TAUK members...  (Nov 18th)       The Tasar class is seeing a resurgence of interest in clubs across the UK, largely thanks to the work of an increasingly effective Class Association. To support the work of your committee, Signal Locker are still pleased to offer a 10% discount on all Ronstan and Harken equipment to full members of TAUK, the aim being to persuade more sailors to join the Association. Our pricelist shows the retail price of the blocks, tracks, mainsheet swivels, and shackles commonly used on the Tasar: these items will usually be supplied from stock. If the fitting you want is not on our pricelist, please call or e-mail for discounted price and availability.  To take advantage of this offer, you need to be a paid-up member of TAUK. Joining could hardly be simpler  -  just follow this link to the Class website:  http://www.tasar.org.uk/UKTA/
