The Class organized great Silver Star events in North America, South America and Europe and you can find all informations and reports here in this present Star LOG. A big thank-you to Jerelyn and Sherri for this great work! The sailing highlights came in the end of the season 2018: Jorge Zarif and Guilherme de Almeida from Brazil won the STAR WORLD CHAMPIONS title. 60 boats were fighting for the title in Oxford/Maryland, and the members of Oxford Yacht Club showed outstanding hospitality. Another highlight was -only a couple of weeks later- the SSL finals in Nassau/Bahamas: 25 best-of-the-best world sailing teams racing against each other and the winner of the thrilling knock-out finale was -again- Jorge Zarif, this time sailing with Pedro Trouche. Meanwhile the 2019 season is fully underway. In February ISCYRA ran the first Junior World Championship in Miami after many years. Luke Lawrence/Alexey Selivanov won the title in a respectable fleet of 36 boats. As it was such a big success and fun, we have decided to organize more Junior Championships during the coming years. Bacardi Cup 2019 was again a fantastic, exciting regatta with almost 70 entries and a great and souvereign winning team of Eric Doyle and Payson Infelise in a super strong fleet. Let’s have a look in the near future: our next silver Star championship will be the first combined European Championship/SSL Breeze Grand Slam in Riva/Lake Garda. 100 teams on the starting line are expected and it will be a great sailing festival! What a big success for our Class! We will continue our positive partnership with Star Sailors League for the future. In Southern California the Western Hemisphere Championship will be organized by the prestigious San Diego Yacht Club, always a great venue, and great sailing is guaranteed! Later in the year the South Americans will take place in Buenos Aires in the traditional Club Nautico Olivos. We can proudly proclaim that the Star Class has positive activities all over the globe. Another highlight will be our World Championship this year in Porto Cervo, Italy - one of the best sailing venues in the world. The Star Class comes back to Porto Cervo exactly 30 years later after the Worlds 1989 and everybody who took part remembers enthusiastically this fantastic event. Continuing with the worlds finest venues ISCYRA will organize the following World Championship in February 2020 in Nassau/Bahamas. Behind the scenes ISCYRA officers are working hard to increase the quality process of organizing our regattas by creating a new MOU (Paul Cayard), which supplements our existing bid form. The close cooperation with our regatta manager PRO Carl Schellbach and jury chair Hans Vengberg ensures high quality in running our championships. While we have record participant numbers in our high level championships and „classic“ events we are aware that the number of participants of the local regattas are decreasing. We are analysing the different reasons of this phenomenon, which is obviously a problem in other classes as well, and will support fleets in this but also in other issues. If you need any help please let us know! Even more good news: Fortunately we are in the situation again that more and more Star boats are being built. Besides our well known Italian builders Folli and Lillia, the famous Carlsson boatyard in Sweden has started again in production. At the same time ISCYRA initiated a new process of quality control: our chief measurers (Jim Ryan, Guido Sodano) will visit all boatyards, who are producing Star boats
