2024 J/24 World Championship set for Seattle in September

Registration for the 2024 J/24 World Championship presented by Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, to be sailed September 28-October 5, is open.

Framed by snow-capped mountains, Puget Sound promises to provide picturesque and challenging conditions for the competitors on the water while the famed Pacific Northwest will provide plenty of activity off the water.
