I just acquired a Star 45 to go with my Sunrise 24 and grandsons' 20" boats. I've got to get a picture of all those together.

Something to keep in mind is that, when assembled, it's about 7' tall so I either lay it down in the back of my truck or remove the mast for transport. If you are a spur of the moment sailor it's not the best choice.

OTOH, it sails wonderfully! This is a testament to the "bigger is better" way of thinking. It's easy to see and you don't have to worry quite as much about the size of the surf giving issue. The keel doesn't extend down so far that you need Lake Michigan to clear it either. Mine is wood but I didn't build it. I think I would like to try a wood build though since I enjoy building wood airplanes.
