Welcome to J/24 Canada!

For over 40 years, the J/24 has attracted sailors the world over. With its combination of exciting performance, tight one-design rules, and extensive, well-run class organization, the J/24 continues to be a proving ground for many of today's champion sailors.

Recognized as an international class by World Sailing, the J/24 has been selected for use in nearly every major international championship, including the PanAm Games, World Sailing Games, and Nations Cup.

The J/24 is the world's most popular keelboat class, with over 5,500 boats built and over 50,000 people actively sailing in more than
150 fleets in 40+ countries.

The J/24 Canadian class association back!

After a five-year hiatus, the J/24 Canadian Class Association recently appointed a new council including longtime J/24 racer Vince Somoza of the Nepean Sailing Club (NSC) as President. Vince brings a wealth of class-specific knowledge and experience to the roll, including a 2nd place finish in the 2019 J/24 World Championship in Miami aboard Clear Air (CAN 5362 ) with Rossi Milev. Vince has owned and raced J24s for over 30 years.

Vince is joined by Nathan Bresett of the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club as Class Measurer. Nathan has been racing J/24s for over 14 years, and is the proprietor of Nye Boat Works in Foxboro, Ontario, just north of Belleville.

Rounding out the council are Josée Couture, also of the NSC, as Secretary/Treasurer, and Jeff Jorgensen of NSC as councillor responsible for Membership and Marketing. Both Josée and Jeff are avid fans of the J/24!

The new council aims to connect with J/24 enthusiasts across Canada to rejuvenate the class, increase membership, and hold annual J/24 events. To that end, the J/24 Canadian Championship will be held as part of the Nepean One Design Regatta in Ottawa, June 2-22, 2025. In addition, the membership structure has been simplified to a single tier with a low, annual fee of
just $35.
