Double Ratchamatic® Mainsheet

Shift gears from 2:1 to 4:1 as smoothly as a high-performance sportscar by simply letting go of one line. The double swivel cam keeps both gross-trim and fine-tune close at hand. The load-sensing ratchet shuts off in light air for smooth easing.

"The two-speed mainsheet system helps with leeward mark roundings, jibes, and pumping the main. The load-sensing Ratchamatic® also lets me ease faster at the weather mark than a standard ratchet does." — Mark Reynolds, Star World Champion.

Carbo T2™ Jib Cars

Lightweight Carbo T2 soft-attach blocks are drawn snug to the body of the Micro CB car for a clean deck sweep.

Radial Vang Traveler

Harken's sculpted aluminum car is machined to accommodate the tight vang radius on Star boats. A simple high-load block is recessed to prevent block-to-block vanging.

Class History

Designed in 1911 by Francis Sweisguth, the two-man Star is simple enough for the novice, but complex enough to challenge the world's best. It has been an Olympic class since 1932. The Star features a sleek, lightweight hull and powerful sailplan. A flexible spar can be tuned to "depower" when the breeze kicks up. The large main is infinitely adjustable. One race on a Star often hooks sailors for life.

World’s coolest yachts: Star class

• September 7, 2021

We ask top sailors and marine industry gurus to choose the coolest and most innovative yachts of our times. Enrico Chieffi nominates the Star class

The coolest boat , for sure, is the Star , writes Enrico Chieffi. Clearly, on one side it’s for personal reasons, because I was World Champion, but it’s a 100-year-old design and it’s so modern in its way.

The Star is a very unbalanced boat and to find the right balance is kind of an art. But when you find it, it’s like getting fine music from a piano.

It gives you feelings like no other boat. When you find the right rig tune it is gorgeous, unique.

Sailing now is evolving very quickly into foiling , and I love it. But at the same time the beauty of these old classes is mainly that they are slow.

In a slow boat like the Star, the Etchells or the Dragon, the tactics and tricks and positioning in the fleet, managing the race course, is much more important.

So it’s a different kind of pleasure.

But when I am 80, I will start sailing the Moth. I am waiting to get fit for that.

International Star Class revisited

The International Star has turned into one of the best, most competitive and rewarding classes to sail in the world, but as with most modern boats it has become more and more expensive. Is it time for a homebuild Star plan?

There have been huge developments in the ease and sophistication of building possible for homebuilt boats in general. Could the Star take advantage of that.

For News and Information about Wooden International Star Class Yachts see Facebook.

The best place to get updates about both vintage wooden Starboats … … and potential new builds … See the Wooden Star Group on facebook for International news.

A Great Article about a Revival In Classic Wooden Starboat Racing

New builds are one option, but there is a big movement in restoration.

Here an article on Cayard, Andy MacDonald and John MacCausland and the Woodie Regatta.

The Origination of the Star was as a Simple and Fast Build home built boat.

But the Star was designed in the ’20s (pic right)as the sort of boat a handyman could knock together out of a pile of timber over a winter to go sailing when the weather got nicer.

Maybe it is time to regather that ethos but to build it strong and stiff and simply using modern methods.

I don’t think ANYTHING else need be changed But homebuilt hulls could be allowed that would cost maybe $4-5000 rather than the tens of thousands required now for semi-mass produced foam sandwich boats.

And an opportunity for backyard development through shared knowledge.

A great example is an early boat by Bill Buchan coming out from a winter of rebuilding to increase the prismatic coefficient and stability.

Why I am thinking about Wooden International Star Class Yachts

Now a couple of co-incidences – Stars came up on a couple of forum threads I was involved in. On the WoodenBoat Forum woodenboat forum thread

And on the Sailing Anarchy forum where a clever fellow has made a nice mod to get an old star sailing cheaply (and somewhat quickly) Frankenstar

I try to be a bit of an activist in terms of trying to get people to see that building boats in wood is plain good sense. It provides a cheap entre into some competitive classes at not much cost – it allows the classes to grow.

You can see from the posts below and above that there are thousands of people out there wanting to build their own boat – and almost none of them choose class racing boats.

This is what I ended up writing about Stars and the possibility of making the class grow (or any other class that can be built in wood) by allowing a competitive wooden boat to be built that uses modern simplified building methods. It is just that the Star is more suitable than most

Originally Posted by rbgarr “Boatmik (thats me – Ed)- Which Olympic classes are the ones that are built of wood other than the Star?” My Reply: And which of those olympic class boats have growing fleets around the world? The answer is none. All of them have declined in active sailing numbers around the world.

Picture and boat by Christian Lanctot – his boat doing it’s stuff – you can see the original transom.

And I doubt a competitive wooden star could be built – because they are still required to be built of traditional planked construction – they don’t allow plywood!!! Or timber/glass composite.

Read the class rules here – see section 1.6 Wood construction – the wooden building method is straight out of the 1920s – they even require screws and nails which no-one interested in modern lightweight timber boats has used for a decade or more.

The picture right shows boats being built in the 1930s – it is possibly time things were changed.

If it was allowed I (or anyone else using modern methods) could have a hull built in three weeks that may be totally competive with the best foam sandwich boats in the world and they wouldn’t even need to build a strongback and molds – it is usual to make the sides and bulkheads self supporting. (see the pdr construction in the blog below or all the other boats on I know I can make it lighter – so if a conservative approach is used to build to the same weight as existing boats a lot of the normal internal timber structure could be eliminated and the result would be a boat with a very clean interior.

What if people could build a competitive Star hull in wood for around $4000 rather than the tens of thousands they cost now in foam sandwich?

There’s nothing to the structure – it is perfect for modern timber construction – all could be ply and the bottom (as it is compounded) could be built of wide cedar strips glassed both sides – take a day to plank it up.

It really is a handyman level project because of the simplicity of the hullshape and would take a full three weeks if the hull construction method was thought through properly – then the keel and skeg, rudder etc..

What if the Star Association could get another 5 or 10 or 50 people into the class through home building? It could be one of the strengths of the class. But, hey, lets be realistic – no-one from conventional classes is going to be reading this or has any interest whatsoever in departures from what they are doing now.

This is an old boat Duckflat and I modded up. using modern methods we pulled 300kg out of the structure but kept the character – performance went up more than a little too. link

The star is a really good example of what I was talking about before -the crazy arms race.

The class had close racing in 1929 and anyone could build one – they were a handyman project. And racing was close and hundreds of people became involved. RAcing is still close but ppl are forced to spend tens of thousands ($100K for a campaign?) to do it because if one has flash gear – everyone else has to as well.

I was wondering where one would get a keel for wooden Star if building one today. Weren’t they made of cast iron?

The traditional way is to make a pattern allowing for shrinkage as the molten iron cools and take it to a foundry to be cast.

Look online to find a foundry near you. Another option – considering the number of star boats that have been built over the decades might be to contact the class association to see if someone has a keel hidden away.

I have a collection of plans for the Star as both PDF and digitised for a 48″ scale model. If interested contact me. I can also supply frames for models at 36″, 1metre, or 48″.

Cheers, Colin

A very nice restoration of an early Star reported on Duckworks.

http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/15/columns/dave/06/index.htm

Hi Michael and others

I have just discovered your web and blogs, which have cost me two days of productive work so far….:)

I specifically focused on this posting because it addresses a major crisis in sailing here in South Africa as well as (it appears) much of the rest of the world. Sailing is being killed by the cost of competing, and as Michael comments, probably not even justifiable costs for the bulk of sailors not aiming at the very pinacle of sailing competition. Thank you for the insight, now to find a way to drive this home….

The second point I wanted to make is the Star specifications make provision for a “way in” for the proposal Michael is making, they offer provisional measurement certificates for experimental material and manufacture, which can become permanent subject to review and vote, etc. How serrious they would be about embracing a low cost home-build approach would need to be seen, especially if the builders of the expensive versions are involved in the vote.

But I guess if anyone is really interested and has the time, they could go after this approach. Unfortunately not for me at the moment, I am already building a boat, and it would be a bit pointless here in South Africa as I doubt we have enough Stars to compete against.

Regards to all Richard

Hi Richard,

That was written a few years ago and the creeping of boat costs hasn’t abated with much more than the hull cost being pumped up past what the market can bear.

Now I think that the solution is that existing classes will be supplanted by DIY boats again.

As an example the heavily promoted O’pen Bic has been designed from the ground up as an Opti Killer, seeing that Optis have priced themselves out of the market (if you want to set one up seriously)

But it doesn’t deal with the fact that you can build something using the same materials as the Opti for around $400 and that can include the sail.

Think of where the opti would be at if that had been maintained!

Same too for the bulk of beginning and intermediate boats.

The crazy thing is that yachting authorities and class associations still believe the myth that more spray and more high tech will allow sailing to compete with Playstations.

But this has pushed up prices, so all the classes can do is poach members from each other as new entrants in conventional sailing classes are few and far between.

But outside all of the failed marketing approaches there is lots of growth in building boats that will never be raced at any conventional club.

Wow!! Thanks Michael…

Been looking for an elegant boat to build using modern wood/composite construction techniques for a long time. When it comes to ease of build and shear beauty…have yet to find a design that I like as much as the Star.

Thank you for sharing your insight!!!

Will scale it back closer to the lower aspect original, and lose the bendy mast but…ahhh that gorgeous Star sail!

Salutations, Kasha

The size is not necessarily the problem … it actually helps resolve the problems to some extent – particularly giving you more stability for a cabin cruising boat. You still want a bendy mast … but not quite as bendy as the rig on a racing star GRIN.

I would recommend you do some calculations to make sure your scheme is heading in the right direction. Recommend http://www.amazon.com/Principles-Yacht-Design-Lars-Larsson/dp/0071353933 or http://www.amazon.com/Skenes-Elements-Yacht-Design-Norman/dp/0396065821/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1320059296&sr=1-3

Best wishes Michael

Okay, call me crazy…but i would LOVE to build a star using modern plywood construction/cold molded bottom…but..here’s the kicker..i would like to increase it’s size by 25-30% and add a low profile cabin. Doable??

Hi Kasha, Nothing wrong with doing something crazy.

You just have to accept the results whether they are good or bad.

It would be a cool looking boat, but I wonder. The Star is a beast in stronger winds – I think that is why a lot of the sailors love it – because not everyone is good enough to sail one. But that might not be compatible with your other aims of having a cabin.

The increase in size would increase the stability somewhat and possibly give you more weight to put in the keel as the hull could be lighter than the original in proportion which would help too. The rig would have to be scaled away from the bendy, somewhat twitchy masts of the Star as well.

But at the same time … it could be very cool if you worked out those problems.

Would love to get my hands on a Star plan to see what can be done with limited funds and skills. As you mention, this design is a perfect match for easy and cheap modern plywood construction, something I am looking for for a long time now without succes. The classic looks combined with the very uncomplicated hull shape are a unique combination that could appeal to many home builders out there!

Final race decides Star World Title

Published on September 13th, 2024 by Editor -->

John Kostecki and Austin Sperry (USA) won the 2024 Star World Championship, topping the 64-boat field on September 8-13 in San Diego, CA. Hosted by San Diego Yacht Club, the pair recently returned to the Class to claim their first Star World title.

The event format has a very deliberate pace toward the finale, with one lengthy race each day which allows the cream to rise in the weather conditions for that day. It would be that march which had six teams within reach of the title, separated by five points with one race remaining.

In a case of “it’s never like this,” the fleet endured the first two days as a heatwave prompted competing winds with significant velocity variations, but a cooling trend for the last four days provided classic San Diego conditions of steady moderate weather.

“It was a challenge all week between the different wind directions, the current, and the eagerness of the fleet at the starts,” noted PRO Tom Duggan. “We had to stay south of Point Loma to have steadier breeze and not too far out to avoid the strong coastal current.”

The title was open until the end of the final 2-mile downwind stretch. With Kostecki/ Sperry leading at the final upwind mark, title contenders Leandro and Lucas Altolaguirre (ARG) – known for the offwind speed – moved from third to first at the finish, with Kostecki/ Sperry dropping to third but winning by one point.

“We sailed a great race today, we needed to,” shared Kostecki. “We had a great start, went fast, we had some luck with the wind shifts, and it all just came together, which is what you need to win a World Championship.”

Up until the final race, each race had been won by the Cayard family, with Paul Cayard and Frithjof Kleen winning three and Will Stout and Paul’s son Danny winning two. But only Stout/ Cayard could get closest in the finale, finishing fourth to claim second overall.

“It was a great way to end this championship really, open until the last leg,” said Danny Cayard, third generation Star sailor after his dad and grandfather Pelle Petterson.

“It was close down until the end but we were just a little short,” added Stout. “We are happy with our result, Danny and I have only sailed together for a short amount of time and so it was good for us personally and I am looking forward to the next one together.”

For Paul Cayard, the overall leader through the first four days, a final day seventh dropped him to fourth overall.

“It is disappointing to win three races and not the World Championship, in Race Two and Race Five I made some mistakes, just big mistakes and finishing more than tenth, you kind of need to stay in the top ten,” he observed.

“We were so close to accomplishing the goal, after race four we were really in a strong spot and so it hurts, it’s hard to think beyond that right now but we’re a good team, we sailed well, we have a fast boat and I’m sure after a few weeks we’ll digest this and we will look forward to another shot at this.”

Star Sailboat Parts & Equipment

Class Description

The Star is one of the most prolific keelboats in the world for a reason: it is an incredible boat to sail. Designed in 1911 by Francis Sweisguth, it has proven to be a classic in every sense. It is the oldest Olympic class, having first been used in competition in 1932, and still at the heart of that competition today. Supported by a worldwide association the Star as a class is one of the best organized in sailing, with over 7,500 yachts built over its 80 year history, and 2000-plus actively racing today. The Star has evolved into the consummate craft for all ranges of competition and performance sailing: its equipment and rig is simple enough for the novice, yet versatile enough for those on the forefront of sailing. It's large, powerful sailplan, combined with a sleek hull and light weight, propel the boat in the faintest of airs, while the flexible spar can be tuned to "de-power" when the breeze kicks up. The large main is infinitely adjustable, allowing the sailor to completely control the driving surface of the sail. Boats today are generally constructed of fiberglass, with positive flotation and an integrated keel. The design, sails, and equipment of the Star are governed by stringent class rules, created to improve competition on the basis of skill and control cost . This has also served to help the longevity of the design, keeping older boats competitive through careful evolution. Stars are generally "dry-sailed", that is, stored on their trailers when not in use, and with a total weight around 1500 lbs, can easily be towed from place to place. Many of the world's top sailors past and present have been involved in the Star Class. It's list of former World Champions reads like Who's Who of yachting: other top sailors such as Colin Beashel, John Kostecki, Mats Johansson, Hans Vogt, Benny Anderson, Rod Davis and Mark Reynolds are also involved in the Star class. But the class is made up of a variety of sailors of all ages and skill levels. One race on a Star has hooked some sailors for life: they'll tell you: It's a thrill.
