Tyler Bjorn and lifelong friend Richard Clarke competed in the Star boat (Double-handed, heavy-weight class) at the 2009 Star North Americans, placing 2nd overall.

Motivated by their first year of Star sailing together, Clarke and Bjorn purchased a new boat and have recently qualified for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
