The Star 45 has a 45" long hard-chine hull; it is a semi-scale model of the full-size International Star. Weighing from 12 to 13 pounds, carrying about 1000 square inches of sail area and with a ballast to weight ratio approaching 70%, Star 45s are fast and responsive. When properly trimmed, the boat will sail hands off to windward. A Star 45 is fun to build, and like the full-sized Star boat, it was designed to race. It has a rubber bumper on the bow to avoid damaging other boats. A Star 45 can be homebuilt from wood or fiberglass with plans available from the American Model Yachting Association. Laser-cut frames based on those plans can be purchased, or major hull components in fiberglass can be obtained from Class suppliers. One can also commission a new Star 45 from a professional builder to any stage of completion. The Star 45 is a one-design class, but some tolerance is allowed with the underwater appendages, rig construction and sails. You can register or transfer a boat online via the link on this page, or if you prefer the paper form, you can find either method on the Star 45 Class website at star45class.com
