The World’s Most Popular One-Design Keelboat  
Whether your style is weeknight beer-can racing or competing on the world stage – the J/24 is the most popular racing keelboat around the world.  It all started in the summer of 1975. Rodney Johnstone designed and built a sailboat to accommodate his family and to be a competitive racer. The J/24 class was launched!  Forty years later, the J/24 has become a legend.  A stable sailboat for family togetherness, the J/24 has also been the competitive launch pad for the careers of numerous sailing professionals.  While some of the world’s best sailors have the latest version J/24, a well-prepared 1977 model can still win the J/24 Class world championship. That’s “One Design” racing! The International J/24 is presently built in the U.S., Argentina and Italy and has more than 50,000 people sailing over 5,400 boats in 27 countries.
 
Fleet #181 grew out of the competitive PHRF keelboat fleet in 2015.  There are currently 10 J/24s at ISC.
