Plymouth, Britain’s Ocean City, is to host the 45th edition of the J/24 World Championship in 2025. The Plym Yacht Club, Saltash Sailing Club and the UK J/24 Class Association will jointly run the event which will take place between the 6th and 14th of September 2025, and will be based on the Mount Batten peninsula, supported by Yacht Havens Group and the Port of Plymouth Sailing Association, with 5 days of racing planned South of Plymouth Sound.
The J/24 is the most popular keelboat in the world, with some 5,500 boats sailing worldwide. Although it was designed in 1977, it still attracts large fleets internationally including 20 that actively race in port at the host clubs Saltash Sailing Club and Plym Yacht Club.
