OVINGTON BOATS TO BUILD THE C STAR

February 26, 2026

After seven years of building the C Star with great results worldwide, we are pleased to announce that Ovington Boats will take over manufacturing

TheC Star. Ovington Boats is one of the world’s most successful small boat building businesses, specialising in one-design and class-rule boats, including the

manufacture of the Olympic Class 49er, 49er FX & ILCA (formerly known as the Laser) the World Sailing Youth Asymmetric 29er Class, 505, Musto Skiff, VX One,

Flying Fifteen and International 14 to name a few!

At C Star, we are very excited that Chris Turner and his world-class team will be taking on our Star boat production.

Chris said, “Having been involved in a technical role of a Star campaign for the 2012 Olympics, it will be great to be working within the Class again.” “I am looking forward to getting out in one myself!”

Ovington’s experience and enviable reputation will ensure the C Star will continue to develop, making it even faster and more reliable. Ovington’s capacity will enable a steadier build flow and shorter delivery times.

This is great news for us at C Star, and more importantly, for the Star class.
