STAR PRODUCTIONS OF BIRKENHEAD

Star yachts "guaranteed to sail".

Star Productions were  founded by a First World War Belgian refugee Franz Marie Denye. Having worked in the  Liverpool dockyards during the war once hostilities ceased he set up Star  Yachts to manufacture a large range of wooden pond yachts and other children’s  toys. He and his family continued production until the compulsory purchase of  the factory forced closure in 1990.

The range of yachts and motor boats produced by Star was considerable in size and whilst there were many models  which were consistent throughout the 70 years others varied enormously. Many can only be described as seaside or bath  toys whereas others were serious sailing yachts made only to order. What makes  collecting Stars even more interesting is that it appears few records were kept  of many of these yachts. Sometimes this makes dating particular yachts  difficult. The situation is complicated further by the fact that Star also  produced  boats for other manufacturers for example fishing  boats for Lines Bros/Triang.

It is said that “imitation  is the sincerest form of flattery” so there is a certain irony in the fact that  following the demise of Star the Chinese started to reproduce some of the  models. These were sold both in this country and North America.

Arguably in 70 years  of the 20th century Star produced one of the largest ranges of Pond  Yachts in tremendous quality and quantity. They were sold by some of the largest  retailers such as Gamages and Bassett-Lowke and also by corner shops and  arcades in most of our seaside towns.

Star Yachts can now be found in antique shops and collections literally all over the world.

History

As is recounted in the brief paragraph at the head of page 2 of the , Star Yachts was founded in the years immediately following WWI by Franz Marie Denye, a Belgian refugee who had fled Belgium at the beginning of the war. Originally a builder of full size ships, he decided that models would provide a livelihood for him and his family. This they did until the works site was compulsorily purchased to clear the site for new development in 1990. At that point the family closed the business. The factory had been demolished by 1991. There was a brief attempt to keep the name alive as the banner of a Youth Opportunity Programme project to provide work for the unemployed, but it soon folded. It is not known whether the products of the YOP project were the same as those of the original company.

Production over the years was extremely varied andvery large, as is shownby the regularity with which relatively recent examples appear on Ebay and in boot sales. Apart from the last catalogue and some instructional material of comparable vintage, very little documentation has survived and we don't know a lot about the pre-war production apart from very occasional models that turn up of which we had no prior knowledge. Over the years the range has included both clockwork and steam powered boats but these are extremely rare. It is thought that Star produced hulls for steam powered models sold by Mersey Models of Liverpool and probably that the steam plants used by Star were made by MerseyModels.

Changes over time

Much of the variation in production will now be impossible to disentangle, but we have some small insights. Early (pre-1939?) hulls have a rounded counter stern, but more recent (post 1945?) models have a square stern. [early round stern] The Star trademark logo was originally a brass pressing nailed to the deck, but this was changed at an unknown date to the more familiar transfer. The last production run of yachts have blue sails. Names have been changed at various times, For instance SY7 yachts exist named both as Arctic Star and as Ocean Star. Whether this is a considered policy, or the result of a shortage of the appropriate name transfers is impossible to determine.

The catalogue is a trade catalogue. Most of the boats were sold through toy shops and department stores, particularly in seaside towns, but some of the larger boats were sold at one stage by Bassett-Lowke, who bought in a number of ranges of superior quality toy boats throughout their existence. There will be pages on Bassett's activity in the toy end of the market in due course.

You will see that the last pages of the catalogue contain many non-boat items suitable for sale in sea side toy shops. Many of these are in plastic. It is not known whether these were moulded by Star or bought in. The absence of any plastic components on the boats and the continued availability of items such as the tower style bucket suggests that they were bought in.

Catalogue and Instruction sheets

You can download the last colour catalogue, a price list and some sailing instructions.

Sailing performance

As the catalogue admits, the very small models are suited only for the bath. The smaller yachts struggle to perform, but the 'named' yachts generally sail well Western Star however, at 30 inches the largest yacht in the last catalogue, is a pig to sail properly. The performance is improved by moving the mast forward by an inch.

Potential collectors should be aware of Chinese copies of Star designs sold under the logo of Bosun Boats. These are not Star yachts in any sense and do not sail anything like as well as the originals.

See photos of some collectors with their genuine Star yachts.

NOTE to U.S. Customs & Border Protection

NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMS & BORDER PROTECTION

Due to the international and fluid nature of the yachting business and the fact there is no global central industry listing service to which all charter yachts subscribe it is impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market. We are a news and information service and not always informed when yachts leave the charter market, or when they are recently sold and renamed it is not clear if they are still for charter. Whilst we use our best endeavors to maintain accurate information, the existence of a listing on this website should in no way supersede official documentation supplied by representatives of a yacht.

Pond Yachting, A Brief History

Pond yachting is one of those hobbies that has been around for hundreds of years. Many a sailor or fisherman would have whittled or shaped a boat to be given to a child to sail. As sailing got more of a competitive sport with the "Grown-ups" races were organised, rules were set in place, records show that they have been around since at least the early 1800s and may have started around the London area as it is home to quite a few large suitable ponds. Photographs became common from the late 1800s which allowed a glimpse of the hobby in action, many of which were gentlemen with rather large yachts with children just looking on in envy.

Pond yachts come in all shapes and sizes and many reflect the style of full size yachting in the days they were built. It was into the 1900s when mass production of pond yachts really started and Star Yachts was one of the first producers and certainly the longest lasting one, seeing out most of the competition over its 70 year history. Once the lathes were introduced, no one could match Star on price for the cheaper ranges of yachts. Pre-war there was quite a wide range of yachts which diminished over the war years and it took until the 1950s for full production of the ranges to continue. Other marques sprang up about this time and for a lot of children, for birthdays and Christmas meant a present of a pond yacht.

There has always been a divide in the yachts, cheap and cheerful for the majority to play with and the more expensive intricate examples for the collector, many of which have never seen the water. Overall pond yachting was a cheap hobby once the yacht was obtained and can still be that today, whether you opt for a brand new example or a previously owned one, you will still get the enjoyment and fun watching your yacht glide across the water. Many owners who had the yachts as a child are now passing them on to their children and grandchildren to carry on with that special enjoyment, no batteries or screens, just fresh air and fun.

For a pictorial view at the British pond yacht and other toy boats, not just Star, try "British Toy Boats 1920 onwards" by Roger Gillham, it's well worth a look.

WOLSTENHOLME YACHT DESIGN

Star yachts.

BRISTOL 16 and 32

The Bristol 32 ‘Annabelle’ and the Bristol 16 ‘Verity’ were commissioned by the same client, with the 16 being launched in 2016 and the 32 in spring 2017. Both are strip plank timber epoxy construction as are the other launches in the Bristol range. ‘Verity’ is powered by a 10hp twin cylinder Nanni diesel and ‘Annabelle’ by twin Yanmar 110hp diesels giving her a top speed in excess of 20kts. This elegant pair of launches won the Powered Vessels and New Build category in the 2018 Classic Boat Awards. An article published in Water Craft magazine describing the design brief can be downloaded here Bristol 16 and 29 – Water Craft 106,  and Nic Compton’s Classic Boat feature on the two boats can be downloaded here  Bristol 32 and 16 Classic Boat Oct 17

The handsome Bristol 27 is equally at home on placid inland waters or the coast and the first owner plans to use her on the Thames and the Solent. She is built of strip plank yellow cedar epoxy with mahogany trim, and is powered by a 52hp Vetus diesel giving her a speed of 11knots. An article on the 27 published in Water Craft can be downloaded here Bristol_27_Water_Craft_2012

Also designed for Star Yachts is the Bristol 22, a trailerable 22footer also of strip plank epoxy. She has a displacement hull driven by a 20hp Yanmar diesel and is also suitable for inland or coastal use.

Due for launch in 2021 are a 20ft semi displacement coastal launch and an 18ft electric river launch.

LADY KATHRYN V

Integrity and the relentless pursuit of the deal defines Moran Yacht & Ship - I am grateful that you were on this journey with me. This magical machine KISMET is the second yacht I’ve had built with Moran Yacht & Ship. KISMET has brought joy, hope, and the gift of discovery to many lives - including my own. You have made this world a better place! Owner, KISMET

By way of background, my business interests include controlling stakes in 3 publicly traded companies which operate vessels in the 500 to 5000dwt range. On average, one new vessel a year would be added to the fleet. As a result, I have access to in-house marine architects, engineers and construction supervisors. Consequently, when I decided to build my first large motor yacht, I did not feel I needed the services of a company like Moran Yacht & Ship. In any event, I was persuaded to let them negotiate on my behalf while I simultaneously held discussions with other building options. Moran Yacht & Ship understands yachts, their incredibly complex systems, and what constitutes a practical solution to various owners’ ideas. In short, I would not consider building another yacht without engaging Moran Yacht & Ship to provide the services they are so good in delivering. Former Owner, NORTHERN STAR
