Chris Dance and Peter Hackett celebration the success - Tasar 2015 World Championships Kilaphotos

2015 Tasar World Championship - Tuesday 6th January the Tasar 2015 World Championships had three races during the afternoon. Initially it was a light southerly breeze and a low chop, with the breeze slowly increasing by the third race into a relatively strong wind and very choppy seas with swell running in different directions.

The conditions were initially good for sailing, but were very testing by the third race, especially considering that people were getting tired after four days of sailing. The wind chop that had developed by the third race and disturbed air from the large fleet made the start line a difficult place to get through, with a lot of boats trying to start on port tack and causing much shouting from right of way boats. As the race progressed, there were quite a few capsizes and also some damaged boats.

The day’s first race (race four of the regatta) was won by Chris Dance and Peter Hackett from Australia on 'Doppio'.

The second race was won by Aaron Linton and Jamie Jochheim from Australia on 'A Team'.

The third race was won by Rick Longbottom from Australia on 'ADF1'.
