Star Class Honoring the Past, Leading the Future
With a heavy heart, but confident that she is now once again sailing in a beautiful place, we mourn the passing of Mrs. Christa Lux (Kastinger).
In the 1950s, when ladies sailing the Star were rare, she was already crewing for her father, Max Kastinger. As a skipper, she sailed her Star until the new millennium and maintained a lifelong friendship with the boat and the class, both in Europe and in the US. Countless pictures and reports inside the Starlogs of the last decades are a prove to her strong transatlantic connection. Christa was Attersee’s “Fleetmom,” with a heart bigger than a house for “her” Stars.
We will miss her serving welcome snacks at every Star regatta, taking pictures at the prize givings, and writing in the club’s guestbook.
Thanks for everything, Christa!
In honorable memory of you, and of everything you have been for the Star,
The Attersee Fleet
