The Star World Championship is one of the most prestigious and tradition-rich titles in competitive sailing, with a history dating back to 1922 and a legacy intertwined with Olympic competition for nearly a century. The Star’s technical sophistication, heavy loads, and exquisite tuning requirements attract some of the world’s most accomplished sailors—America’s Cup helmsmen, Olympic medalists, and masterful lifelong Star devotees. The Worlds are famous for their tactical purity, intense downwind battles, and the deep camaraderie of a class that values both excellence and heritage. Few trophies in sailing carry as much gravitas, and every edition of the Star Worlds writes another chapter in the sport’s living history.
