Kiel, Germany to Host 2021 Star World Championship Regattas

Kiel has already hosted the Star Class World Championship four times (1939, 1966, 1977, 1993) and is the sailing city with annual Kiel Week and lots of other high ranked sail events over the last years. The Kieler Yacht Club and the Kiel fleet are again inviting all Star sailors to the U30 and World Championships in Kiel-Schilksee in 2021. The area is known to all sailors. It is demanding, surprising, and guarantees exciting regattas. Kiel will delight many sailors with its summer hospitality for the 98th World Championship of the Star Class. As an open U30 and World Championship, all sailors can compete with the world's best sailors. Where else is this more possible than in Kiel?

Our class takes center stage in 2021 from August 31st to September 3rd (U30) and from September 4th to September 11th (Worlds). These Championships are also in honor of our late President and great friend of the Star Class Dierk Thomsen who was also Commodore of the Kiel Yacht Club. He died on October 8, 2020. Prepare yourself and become part of our Star boat history in Kiel. The Kiel Yacht Club and the Kiel fleet are waiting for your timely entry to present an unforgettable sailing event.
