The J/24 is a one design vessel that is suitable for anyone regardless of age or sailing style.

The J24 has a flared topside that make her dry on deck. It also has a 'weekender' cabin which makes it possible to get warm on cold days and she can be sailed easily by one person with only the mainsail.

And yet the J/24 is designed to race, being the craft of choice for the ISAF Nation's Cup, the Rolex Women's International Keelboat Championship and the St. Francis International Masters Championship.

The International J/24 is built in the U.S., Japan, Australia and Italy and has more than 50,000 people sailing 5,200 boats in 150 fleets in 40 countries.
