Here in Erie it is 153 for our JAM fleet. I am half owner of #6868 with my Trawler buddy, who races it. It is the second Star for both of us.
Last year when he first started in the C fleet, he was killing them, and I heard comments from the race committee (who didnt know what a Star was) like, what is that surfboard with the huge sail?! Of course, the guy is a great sailor, and has about 10 years sailmaking experience in his early years, so he is no shrinking violet. But you are right, it does get punished when the wind pipes up! So, theoretically it might be a correct rating, but when you are mostly dealing with light summer evening winds . . .

What do your folks rate a Star? We only have one Wednesday night race where the fleets are combined, so usually they race one design - windward/leeward - which is what they like. But on that single race, our guys rate them at 162, which seems to be somewhat correct. And, we race in light wind and flat water, which favors them. The rest of the combined fleet ranges from a J-105 at 87 to a Cal 2-27 at 213. Gary St. Michaels MD
