Redirect from Starboat[edit]

I'm not sure if this is the correct title for this entry. If this is intended to describe the Olympic class sailboat type, the correct name for the class is just "Star." Check: http://www.starclass.org/ MCBastos 01:56, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi There,

when I searched the name Starboat , which is our family company, manufacturing speedboats, this page is opened.

I want to create an historical article for our company. How can we correct it ?

A quick search on Google implies that the use of the term Starboat in English is slightly more common as a variant name for the Star (sailboat), than it is as the proper name of the Turkish speedboat company.

That leaves a couple of options:

A) Make Starboat a disambig with links to this page and Starboat (boat builder), or

B) Make Starboat a page about the company, with a hatnote linking to this article.

Class specific Championships[edit]

Maybe a word about Star Eastern Hemisphere Championship and Star Western Hemisphere Championship. It's a specific championship for Star class. It usually is grade 200 but sometimes is grade 1 (for example edition 2009 in Hyeres, France) like Star European Championship. How does it rank (in value) among championships ? Editions? 213.149.62.151 (talk) 17:20, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
