JESSOP Cofounder of the San Diego Bay Fleet Based on Ed Sprague’s forth-coming book The San Diego Star Fleet Joseph E. Jessop (1898-1996) was the first of a long line of San Diego Bay Star sailors who made an impact on the Star Class. The first Star boat on San Diego Bay was built by Edward L. Peterson and sold to Joe Jessop in late 1923. The boat was Star # 213, named Windward, or Win- nie for short. It had the short Marconi Star Class rig of the era with the long boom extending three feet aft of the stern.
