"The oldest of the Olympic classes, the Star has attracted lots of young talentin the last few years. This has translated into the development of innovative gear including the radial vang traveler car (382, 384) and the double 57 mm Carbo Ratchamatic짰 for the mainsheet system. Other controls include 29 mm and 40 mm Carbo blocks."?봎itja Margon - Managing Director Harken Slovenia; Olympic classes specialist.

Double Ratchamatic짰 Mainsheet
shift gears from 2:1 to 4:1 smmothly as a high-performance sports car by simply letting go of one line. The double swivel cam keeps both gross-trim and fine-tune close at hand. The load-sensing ratchet shuts off in light air for smooth easing.

"The two-speed mainsheet system helps with leeward mark roundings, jibes, and pumping the main. The load-sensing Ratchamatic짰 also lets me ease faster at the weather mark than a standard ratchet does." Mark Reynolds, Star World Champion

Carbo T2??Jib cars
Lightweight Carbo T2??soft-attach blocks are drawn snug to the body of the Micro CB car for a clean deck sweep.

Radial vang traveler
Harken's sculpted aluminum car is machined to accommodate the tight vang radius on Star boats. A simple high-load block is recessed to prevent block-to-block vanging.

CLASS HISTORY

Designed in 1911 by Francis Sweisguth, the two-man Star is simple enough for the novice, but complex enough to challenge the world's best. It has been an Olympic class since 1932. The Star features a sleek, lightweight hull and powerful sailplan. A flexible spar can be tuned to "depower" when the breeze kicks up. The large main is infinitely adjustable. One race on a Star often hooks sailors for life.
