The official web site of the Stewart 34 Owners Association of New Zealand. Stewarts are incredibly capable and fun to sail, and while fast and powerful they also serve extremely well as a family cruiser. They go to windward with the best and have clocked over 20 knots in the right conditions! The quality of the racing is also of the highest standard and crew who have done their time on Stewarts have gone on to forge stellar international careers and become household names. The hotly contested Stewart 34 Championship is the premier one design series in New Zealand. The level of excitement, the extremely close racing and skill required in a windward/leeward championship race make it incredibly addictive and above all fun. Auckland, New Zealand

The Sunburst is actively raced all over the Country, with representation at most clubs. Takapuna, Auckland, New Zealand

The sunfish has its roots planted firmly in 1947 in Waterbury, Connecticut. Friends Alexander "Al" Bryan and Cortlandt "Cort" Heyniger (the Al and Cort in Alcort) pondered, "How to put a sail on a surfboard?" The answer involved a rejected design for American Red Cross waterfront rescue surfboards, leading to the Sailfish - a lateen rigged, flat-decked, plywood marvel. In 1951, Bryan's pregnant wife found its flat deck somewhat uncomfortable. The addition of a cockpit and widening of the hull created the Sunfish.

The Supernova grew out of a collaboration between the then Lightning 368 Class Chairman, Frank Puranik, and Mark Giles the Lightning designer and builder. The desire was for a larger and faster single handed racing dinghy that would, like the Lightning before it, attract sailors into a new class offering a distinct combination of features not easily found in other existing designs. What evolved was a boat of similar and slightly larger vital statistics than an International Laser but with a completely different approach to the rig. There is an active open meeting programme in the United Kingdom and a small number of boats are sailing and racing in the Netherlands. What perhaps sets the Supernova apart from other designs, for the present at least, is the absence of boats on the second hand market. Supernova owners are, if nothing else, enthusiastic about their choice of boat.

Dedicated to those who share the fine sailing qualities of this Olin Stephens-Designed Sailing Yacht. The Tartan 34 Classic Association started when a geographically diverse group of T34C owners discovered that the Internet was a great way to communicate with each other. In 2003, Deane Holt, George Colligan and Jim Calore created a T34 component on the website of the Tartan Owners of Northeast (TONE). Our forums quickly became popular and created so much traffic on the site that we had to create our own cyber-home. So, in 2004, the TCA34 was born. Since then, the Association has become an international group of hundreds of Tartan owners who are dedicated to preserving these great boats and sharing the joy of owning them. Our members stay connected through our active website and by regional captains who organize local activities.

World Tasar Class Association and North American Tasar Association. Over 25 years of continuous development has resulted in the lightest mass-produced 15-foot dinghy in the world. But lightness isn't everything. When it comes to stiffness, the Tasar is also in a class of its own. Stomp on the decks, push on the sides, bang on the bottom - you will barely deflect them. Instead you will discover the incredible rigidity of a boat that is 30 percent lighter, on average, than anything else its size. It's light, years ahead of its time. The super-light Tasar offers you an entirely new dimension; breathtaking acceleration, finger-light sensitivity and the exhilaration of windward planing - all without the need for super crews, trapeze artists and interminable go-fasts. Learn to sail, teach your friends to sail and do it without the hassle in a boat that will never bore you, a boat that is far more stable than anything else in its performance class, a boat that's light years ahead. Do it in a Tasar.
