I have had a pre-war Star yacht "Arctic Star" since the 1950's.
It was given to me by an older cousin. Hull length = 27ins
Beam = 7ins.
I sailed it as a boy and my boys sailed it. In the 70's
my wife took it to the factory in Birkenhead where they
replaced the original red sails and varnished spars with
their "BR4" rigging - not the best thing but the old sails
were rotted and at least we could continued sailing it.
A couple of years ago, it was in a poor state with the
original paintwork and varnish cracked and perished and
so I decided to restore it for my grandsons (and me!)
The rigging was washed and came up fine. A few screws
and the mast step had to be replaced. I stripped the hull
with paint stripper washed it several timed rubbed it down
and repainted it with several coats of paint. I also rubbed
down, relined and revarnished the deck. I had lost the wooden
rudder so made a new one out of a new piece of wood.
The lead keel was a little loose and I could not free the
screws so I injected wood filler at the join and it set fine.
The boat sails well but two problems remain - mast has a twist
and the original stand is missing.
I have added "before and after " photos. First time adding
photos so I hope they are OK. Best of luck with your boat.
