2022 Star Worlds - Special Numbers Issued
This year is the 100th Anniversary of World Championships for the Star Class. With that we want to make it a special event and honor the Class in many ways. One way we want to do that is to honor every year there has been a Championship by representing each year as a sail number.
Gold Star winners were given the opportunity to use their years first. Many have responded that they are going, and have claimed their year or are not going and their year is available. Registered competitors have been asked by giving the next choice to select a year that they would like to use as their sail number. The years will be given on a first come first serve basis. The Worlds entry list is being updated as the years are issued.
We strongly believe having every boat with each year will be a striking image and set a great example for our Class motto “Honoring the past, leading the future”.
We know this will make the Star Class and the 100th World Championship a memorable one.
If you'd like to reserve a special year to honor a World Champion, please register for the 2022 Worlds on the website.
