Doyle Sails
are currently designing and developing sails for the Star
boat. Doyle One Design Team, Jud Smith and Garth
Reynolds, have pursued a different concept using the latest
sail design technology. Over the past twelve months
they have generated lighter, low-drag shapes. They
started with the conventional crosscut panel layout to
develop and refine the 3-dimensional shape of the mainsail.
They chose to pursue a
mainsail optimized for light to medium wind conditions that
most of us race in. We are also developing another higher
twist mainsail for 10-25 knots. Mark Mendelblatt and crew
Mark Strube sailed the 2008 Star World's with the Doyle CM-5
and finished 7th overall and was the top US boat. Jud Smith
and Terry Yuill, sailing in their second Star regatta
together, placed 29th out of 104 boats.
