Today we are speaking about deck hardware and rig setup to Max Kohlhoff, the winning helmsman of the 2023 Star Worlds. With Ole Burzinski from Flensburg Yacht Club, onboard Playmate, they recently scored two bullets out of six races in Scarlino, finishing the championship ahead of double Star World champion Diego Negri. They now join the long list of Star World Champions, that have raced annually since 1923, to claim this prestigious title.
