Star 45 Radio Control Sailing

SIZED RIGHT

The Star 45 is small enough to transport in virtually any car, but large enough to sail like a full-size boat.  Once you sail one, you will have to have one.

TERRIFIC PEOPLE

We race at model yacht clubs throughout the United States.  The class attracts  sailors who take racing seriously but don't take themselves too seriously.

BUILT TO RACE

The 45" long Star 45 weighs 12 to 13 lbs, carries about 1000 sq. in. of sail, and with a ballast/weight ratio near 70%, it is super responsive in all conditions.

THE STAR 45 CLASS

Sail a star and sail a legend.

This is the new Star 45 Class information website.  The Star 45 is a 45" long hard chine, semi-scale model of the legendary full-size International Star boat. Boats can be home-built in wood using plans available from the AMYA, built in fiberglass with major components available from class suppliers, or purchased custom built in fiberglass to any stage of construction from class-approved builders. Available laser-cut frames for wood construction produce a consistent hull shape. Fiberglass hulls, decks, short kits and parts as well as complete boats are available from class suppliers; contact information for them can be found under the SUPPLIERS tab. We're looking for new members who want to race!

About STAR 45

The Star 45 is a 45″ long hard chine, semi-scale model of the legendary full-size International Star boat. Star 45s can be home-built using plans available from the AMYA, partially fabricated with major components available from suppliers, or purchased custom built to any stage of completion from class-approved builders. Available laser-cut frames for wood construction produce a consistent competitive hull. Fiberglass hulls, decks, short kits and parts as well as complete boats are available from class suppliers; contact information for them can be found on the class website. The Star 45 is big enough to sail like a full-size boat, but is easily managed and small enough to be transported in any car. It is sophisticated enough to be a good trainer, offering the racing sailor full adjustability, but not overwhelming to a newcomer. Star 45 racing is very competitive. We’re looking for new skippers who want to race!

Boats Produced: Approximately 1,000 boats have been registered with the class; not all are currently active, and undoubtedly some have been built that are not registered.

  10. Good wood RC sailboat kits?

    The Dumas Star 30 should not be overlooked for a nice wooden RC sailboat kit. It is a complete kit with sails and hard ware and at a good price. My first wooden models were Tippecanoe kits , a T37, a T50 and a T27. They are all nice boats and building them gave me the confidence to move into other build projects.

  11. Star 45 build started

    RE: Star 45 build started. Finished planking the bottom, and a preliminary sanding/levelling. Now I need to finish planing the edges down/sand them to get ready to plank the sides. After planking the bottom, I think the sides will go a lot faster. Unfortunately, life got in the way of finishing up the edges yesterday.
