In the past, we have had some problems with Town Hall Meeting 1 very short races being sailed, and an attitude of “let’s get in races.” This is fine for a weekend event, but the District Regatta Reports Championship should be of a higher standard. The minimum Biscayne Trophy 2 course lengths prescribed in new rule 34 must be honored.

For Silver and Blue events, South American Silver Star 5 we should not race in under 5 knots. This is the minimum that Bacardi Cup 6-7 I expect will be adopted for the 2008 Olympics.

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. -
