  • A Pictorial History of the Star Class
    A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE STAR CLASS 1911 2011 FOREWORD From its very beginning the Star Class has attracted photographers’ attention. Morris Rosenfeld and Edwin Levick were among the early photographers who took pictures of the Star. The beauty and power of the modern Star boat continues to be an object interest for both amateur and professional photographer. We are thus fortunate to have a fairly good pictorial record of the Star Class starting with those early days of 1911 when the Stars first put in an appearance on Long Island Sound and at Nahant Dory Club in Massachusetts. The Star Class also has a very good historical record of itself. An annual Log which lists the boats and their owners, gives race results, carries the Class Rules, and other pertinent information has been published since 1922. An additional source of information is available from Starlights, the Star Class newsletter which has been published since 1925. Added to these sources there are two history books about the Star Class: “Forty Years Among the Star”, written by George W. Elder, and “A History of the Star Class”, written by Class Historian and long-time Log and Starlights editor C. Stanley Ogilvy. It is the purpose of this pictorial history to bring together some of the more interesting photographs and events which have appeared in the Star Class publications. PRELUDE The Gaff Rigged Era 1911 – 1920 (and before) The history of the Star began even before 1911. In 1906 a boat called the Bug was designed in the office of William Gardner in New York.

  • From the Star Class Website, History Section: SKIP ETCHELLS and THE
    From the Star Class website, history section: SKIP ETCHELLS AND THE BIRTH OF THE MODERN STAR based on conversations with Bill Buchan and Jane Lawrence Skip Etchells played an important part in birth of the modern Star. In college he studied naval architecture and when World War II began he went to work in Seattle in the shipbuilding industry. Because of his naval architect training Skip realized that there were allowable tolerances in the Star specifications which would allow him to build a superior boat. This knowledge was further reinforced by the work which Phil Spaulding and Harry Hofmann did in the 1930’s for their master’s thesis at University of Michigan in which they studied the effects on the Star hull design by taking the boat to its maximum and minimum tolerances at given stations. They built three models to tank test the question of what the effects on hull speed would be by so doing. Phil, who had set up a naval architect business in Seattle, became acquainted with Skip during the early war years and passed onto him the lines from the most efficient hull in their experiment. As Phil Spaulding noted in a recent interview, this hull was marked by a wider bow and a flatter contour than was normally built into the Stars of the time. In 1942 Skip and his friend Bill Kelley built the first Etchells Stars, #2125, Shillalah and #2127, Hell's Angel, in which he applied these principles. They began construction on these boats first on Mercer Island in Seattle and later finished them off in the Madison Park garage where the Puget Sound Star Fleet housed their boats during the winter.

  • Pictorial History from the 1960S-2000
    DUARTE BELLO Designer of Star Fittings Duarte Bello of Portugal designed and manufactured beautiful stainless steel Star fittings. On his boat “Faneca” shown above some of the innovative fittings can be seen. First and foremost is the circular boom vang track, the prototype of the system still used today. At the time this picture was taken in 1962 the usual method of connecting the boom vang was to hook a fitting which was on a wire running along the underside of the boom into some sort of fitting on the rail. There were several variations of this method. Another innovative item which Duarte designed was the Bello bailer, this in 1954. The thought that one could suck out the water in the bilge using the forward motion of the boat was a novel idea. At the 1984 World’s Duarte Bello was honored for his many contributions to the Star Class. Duarte is standing to the right. On this memento board we see only some of the items which Duarte manufactured: circular boom vang track, Bello bailers, jib winch, jib fairlead block, mainsail outhaul fitting, and other items. (Photo: September, 1984, Starlights) Duarte’s various accomplishments as a skipper include a series 2nd at the 1962 World’s and representing Portugal in the Olympics in 1956 and 1964. (Photo: 1965 Log) BLAST OFF IN PORTUGAL Probably some of the more wild and exciting World Championships have taken place on the water around the Iberian Peninsula. Here we have George Scheder in his Jessica blasting off down a wave. (Photo: 1965 Log, credit Timoteo.)
