The king class of Olympic sailing and the legendary two man keel yacht build with Swiss precision. 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 1932, and is 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 8'000 yachts built in almost 100 year history, and 2000-plus actively racing today.
