I recently purchased an Olympic Star sailboat, 23' cruiser. This boat
is almost always confused with the Star class Olympic racer especially
when shopping for sails in the US. I need to get sails for it and was
hoping someone from this group might be able to help me find a
Canadian sailmaker with the specifications for the sails. I could take
the old sails to a sailmaker and have them copied but was hoping to
find the original specs.

Your boat was manufactured in the Montreal, Quebec area. I sail an
Olympic Dolphin, your boat's little sister :^)

If you don't mind doing the mail order/ or phone order way, I believe
that you cvan obtain the sails you need from The Boathouse's
(Dorval-quebec) in house sailmaker who makes excellent sails. I have
one of their mainsails on my Dolphin.

There are a fair amount of Olympic Stars in this area due to their
being produced here, and several places in this area are familiar
with your boat.

The Boathouse's phone numbers are:
1-800-361- 2966
1-514- 631-8503

They can refer you to their in-house sailmaker who has a different
phone number, which I've misplaced.

Good luck with your boat.

Hi,
I have set up an Olympic Star Yahoo Group:
http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/Olympic_star/
Please join as there seems to be very little information on this boat.
I have also created a web page showing a derelict Olympic Star 24 at:
http://peter.deppisch.googlepages.com/olympicstar
Any more information on the boat would be helpful.
Sincerely,
Peter
