Stars - History


The Star is one of the most prolific keelboats in the world for a reason - simple, it is an incredible boat to sail.  It has proven to be a classic in every sense since it was designed in 1911 by Francis Sweisguth.

 

Having first been used in competition in 1932 and still at the heart of competition today it is the oldest Olympic class.  Supported by a world-wide association the Star as a class is one of the best organized in sailing with over 7500 yachts built over nearly 100 years.

 

Many of the worlds top sailors past and present have been involved with the Star Class which is made up of a variety of sailors of all ages and skill levels and some will say that 'one race on a Star has hooked some sailors for life - IT'S A THRILL'.
