Stephen Jones designed the Starlight 39 with exceptionally beautiful lines to be a fast, safe, passage maker which would be a joy to sail. Stephen's successful design skills, coupled with the quality workmanship of the Rival Bowman craftsmen have developed one of the most successful yachts in her class.

The Starlight 39 Mk2 enjoys a host of enhancements which have been developed over the years with considerable input from owners who have sailed thousands of miles, both cruising and racing these fine craft.

Although fully crewed Starlight 39s have enjoyed considerable success on the racing circuit the majority of boats are used for cruising with the family and making the most of the luxurious accommodation and carefree sailing that these yachts provide.
