2024 STAR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN ICONIC VENUE

San Diego Yacht Club in San Diego, California, is hosting the event for the ninth time in the Star Class's 100+ years of history 

San Diego Yacht Club and the bay area have always had a special place in the Star Class history. Some of the GOATs of sailing, and the Star boat, banged their first corners just off Point Loma, with 15 Star World titles won by SDYC members over the years. Lowell North, Malin Burnham, Dennis Conner are among the most successful and world-renowned Star sailors from San Diego, but the Pacific keeps on fostering talented sailors. This is what makes the 2024 Star World Championship so special, being in what is indeed one of the cradles of Star sailing in the USA. The event opened today, September 7^th with an official ceremony and flag parade with the World Championship following its traditional format with one 2-mile leg race per day over six days with the names of the 2024 Star World Champions confirmed on Friday September 13^th.
