the Star 45
Currently
offering 3 different cuts in order to best suit your sailing style and
appearance.
2008
Original
Cut
"Great for drifters!" Main
and Jib Set Main
is a Trispi 40 main
Jib is a flat single paneled cut made of Trispi 25 or Trispi 40
your choice.
Corners are rounded, not star burst
The jib is perfectly flat. However, it has
a pocket down the luff and due to its very light weight cloth,
it does develop an airfoil when stretched. This is a continuation
of the Blackwell Star sails that use to be the norm for the Star
45. Because of the very flat drafts, this set is the fasted in
no wind drifters. In dead drifters, their not enough energy in
the wind to travel over a full cambered sail. However, this flat
design with its light weight T25 jib, is very fast. Due to the
simplicity of the design, this set is recommended for the non
racer or the beginner. However, an experienced sailor can do very
well also as our Star class secretary uses this design and you
can almost always find him in the top 3. Corner can be red, blue,
black, white, green, or yellow. $139.99

Windjammin
Cut
"Most Popular - used to win 5 Nats!!"
Main
and JIb Set
Main is a Trispi 40 main
Jib is a 6 paneled cut made of
Trispi 25
or Trispi 40 your choice.
Add the neater Star burst Corners and jib draft stripes.
This jib was designed from our latest Y-Flyer
jib (real 18' 2 man boat) which just won the Y-Flyer Nationals
with (46 boat fleet). This design is also the design that has
won the Star 45 Nationals the last 5 out of 6 years. The jib is
made up of 6 panels. This allows the shape to be carried much
higher up the luff creating more power. The first design was derived
from simply scaling down the Y-Flyer design. However, further
testing proved then lead to flattening that sown a little for
the models which lead to a 95% camber jib, a 90% camber, and an
85%. After sailing with all these designs, it seemed the 90% camber
is the best mix for our scale boats. Corner can be red, blue,
black, white, green, or yellow. $169.99

Star Cut "Something Special!"
Main
and JIb Set
Main is a Trispi 40 main
Jib
is a 6 paneled cut made of
Trispi 25
or Trispi 40 your choice.
Radial Corners and jib draft stripes.
This set uses the exact same airfoil as the
Windjammin cut set above. The only difference is this sail's seam
layout resembles that of the real Star boat in the way they lay
out the panels and seams. The head of the main sail has 3 panels
cut vertically on the grain to help with stretch as well as use
stretch in a way that helps create the airfoil all the way to the
head of the sail. The mains foot is then made up of 4 panels rotated
vertically to also aid in stretch.
This jib was designed from our latest Y-Flyer jib (real 18' 2 man
boat) which just won the Y-Flyer Nationals with (46 boat fleet).
This design is also the design that has won the Star 45 Nationals
the last 3 out of 4 years. The sail is made up of 8 panels. This
allows the shape to be carried much higher up the luff creating
more power. The first design was derived from simply scaling down
the Y-Flyer design. However, further testing proved then lead to
flattening that sown a little for the models which lead to a 95%
camber jib, a 90% camber, and an 85%. After sailing with all these
designs, it seemed the 90% camber is the best mix for our scale
boats.
This set is not intended to be faster or a better design, but was
designed just for the elite sailor who strives to be different.
The extra seaming is very trick, and so the price is much higher...
meaning only a select few will ever sail this cut.
