   Some say it is The Pacific swell, the steady breeze, the local sail makers or the support San Diego Yacht Club that makes San Diego a hot bed of top internationally ranked sailors. One thing for sure they all sailed Star boats.

   These San Diego Bay Star Class World Champions chose the Star not only because it is a delight to sail, but because the boat is powerful and the boat is sensitive to hull trim and sail trim. The thirty-one foot mast on a 22'8" hull provides power in light air and the large main can be controlled in 30 knots of wind by flatterning the sail with the bendy mast and other controls.

   Whatever the reason for the success of the San Diego Bay Star Fleet sailors, the fleets of the Star Fifth District and the sailors that sailed against them in national and international competition helped to develop these sailors.
