The Star had an
immediate ancestor, a boat called the Bug, said to have been 17 (or possibly
18) feet long. A so-called Bug is still being sailed on Lake Sunapee, New
Hampshire, one of several formerly owned and raced there. But that boat
measures 20 feet over all and is probably a "Nahant Bug," built in
1911 by Green Brothers in Massachusetts. Nahant Bugs have also been called
Stars, and were once raced at Marblehead. It would be interesting to know
whether any of those Marblehead boats still exist, and if so were they
really Stars or these 20 foot hybrids?
