For small booms, the topping lift may be run from end of the boom to the backstay or next mast aft. When the sail is raised again, the topping lift is loosened or removed. On sailboats used for racing, boom lift function is frequently incorporated into the boom vang system, to reduce the number of lines aloft.

For sailing the design is equipped with a 2:1 mechanical advantage outhaul and a boom vang.

Three sail shape controls which control the leech tension, and therefore sail twist, are the mainsheet, the boom vang and the traveler. The mainsheet pulls the boom (and therefore the foot of the sail) primarily inwards at lower points of sail and downwards at higher points of sail. Manipulation of the traveler can counteract this because it always pulls the boom laterally. The vang on the other hand does the opposite, it always changes the height of the boom.

The boat has a draft of with the centerboard extended and with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.

The design has a Portsmouth Yardstick racing average handicap of 97.6 and is normally raced with a crew of two sailors.

Instead, when running downwind a whisker pole is used to hold the jib out to windward for correct wind flow. Early Stars were built from wood, but modern boats are generally made of fiberglass. The boat must weigh at least with a maximum total sail area of . The Star class pioneered an unusual circular boom vang track, which allows the vang to effectively hold the boom down even when the boom is turned far outboard on a downwind run.

Sail control uses friction rings instead of a mainsheet traveler and a rigid boom vang. It features a plumb stem, a slightly reverse transom with a gas strut assisted, drop-down tailgate-style swimming platform, dual internally mounted spade-type rudders controlled by two wheels and a fixed fin keel, shoal draft wing keel or lifting keel.

Raising and lowering the sprit and adjusting the boom vang allow for adaptation of sail trim to a range of wind conditions. Similarly, the Optimist has a small string outhaul on the end of the boom. It is usually correct to tighten the boomvang, outhaul, and sprit in heavy winds and loosen them in light winds. As well as this, huge adjustments can be made to sail shape, due to all of the ties running along the mast and boom.

The company is well known for its developmental series, which has workshopped staged readings of numerous plays including Boom Vang by Larry Pontius, Breath and Grandma's Box, The Life of Mary Berry, Double Hernia by Mark Charney, Handicapping by James McClindon, 37 Stones by Mark Charney, Night by David Carr-Berry, The Woodpecker by Samuel Brett Williams, "The Authorities" by Andrew Rosendorf,Heartless by Eric Sanders, "She Like Girls" by Chisa Hutchinson. In May 2007 the company launched its Lost Works Series with the New York City premiere of Anthony Neilson's Penetrator.

He also popularised the kicking strap, or boom vang (US). This may take the form of a block and tackle linking a low point on the mast (or an equivalent point on the hull) and the boom close to the mast, which allows the boom to be let out when reaching or running without lifting. This controls the twist of the mainsail from its foot to its head, increasing the sail's power and the boat's speed and controlability. Elvstrøm did not advertise his new invention, leaving his competitors mystified at his superior boat-speed.

A fitter casualty may be able to get a foot onto a simple loop of rope and lift themselves to the rail. A hypothermic, injured or unconscious victim may be quite incapable of helping themselves. In this case netting, slings, an inflatable dinghy or liferaft may be employed, with or without the additional assistance of a 4:1 or better tackle. Such a tackle may be fashioned from a mainsheet, a boom vang (kicking strap), or may be purpose-made for the job and stored in case needed.

Duarte Manuel Pinto Coelho de Almeida Bello (26 July 1921 – 3 July 1994) was a Portuguese sailor who competed at the 1948, 1952, 1956, 1960 and 1964 Olympics. He won a silver medal in the Swallow class in 1948, together with his brother Fernando Pinto Coelho Bello, and placed fourth in 1952 and 1956. Bello also raced Star class keelboats, winning silver medals at the 1953 and 1962 World Championship, and a bronze in 1952. He was known as an equipment innovator who invented several devices, including automatic "Bello bailers" in 1954, and the circular boom-vang track c. 1962.

These tackles are typically a 2 - 4 part tackles for greater purchase. This rig can also be used as a boom vang without taking up space under the mast that may be essential to the cruising sailor for dinghy stowage and other uses. There is a possibility of breaking the main boom with a preventer rig such as this, but many modern yachts are considered to have short enough booms and be beamy enough to overlook this possibility in normal use. For example, while running with the preventer cleated, a large swell could roll the boat, dipping the boom end into the water, snapping the boom in half.

The boat has a draft of with the centerboard extended and with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer or car roof rack. For sailing the design is equipped with a dual Cunningham and an outhaul. The class rules allow specific modifications to the boat, including the installation of two bailers, centerboard gaskets, four inspection ports, changes to the sheeting, the boom vang, the Cunningham, mainsheet traveler, outhaul, as well as the rudder and tiller and the centerboard control lines. At one time the class rules allowed the use of a three-piece mast as an alternative to the standard two-piece mast, but this change was repealed.
