"Outdated" only really applies to a newly designed boat, I dare say when 'Star' was first designed it was cutting-edge.

Never understood why people get misty eyed over the Star for all the above reasons ...

Well, its an outdated rig, an outdated hull shape, a silly keel, no kite and the bizarre downwind rock and roll, but really apart from the rig, the hull, the foils and the way they are sailed there's nothing much wrong with them.

Well you've got bendy/falling down masts for a start...breaking your first is AFAIK meant to be something of a rite of passage in the class ![]() Related to that is the gigantic sail area and a low, low boom.. Then you've got a stubby keel and swept back rudder (seem familiar?). I how much chine is immersed is a big part of reducing leeway due to the small keel. |

None
Its a fantastic boat and been highly developed over the years. The tiny section mast needs to be carefully looked after in breeze though ! A proper thoroughbred |

Laser design issues debated on a regular basis, what design issues has 'Star' got ?
