2023 Star Class World Championship

Day Two of the 2023 Star World Championship presented itself with the same calm conditions over Scarlino, Tuscany,  as the 100-boat fleet eagerly set sail, hoping for the wind tofill in. However, rather than the much-awaited breeze, nature had a different plan in store – a gentle drizzle began to fall, casting a temporary veil of rain over the gulf.

The wind was light, then was gone, then was back on, an abandoned start attempt, more waiting and then AP over A was hoisted by the Race Committee. 2 Races are planned for tomorrow.

For the first time in 24 years, the Star World Championship comes back to Tuscany, Italy. In 1999 the event was held in Punta Ala, a few kilometres south of the modern port of Marina di Scarlino, where the regatta is taking place this year from September 17th to the 24th. With the official Opening Ceremony just finished, the 2023 Star World Championship is officially underway and the 96 boat-fleet will hit the water tomorrow for the first warning signal going off at 1200 CET (GMT +2).
