San Juan 24 Fleet

The San Juan 24 was designed by famed marine architect Bruce Kirby in 1971, originally as a quarter-ton IOR boat. Over 1,000 SJ 24s were built by the Clark Boat Company from 1972 through 1982 in factories located in Washington and North Carolina. SJ 24s are found in marinas throughout the United States and Canada.

Principal attributes:

While normally raced with a crew of four (some race with three), the boats can easily be sailed by a crew of two, or arranged for single-handed sailing.

We race as a one-design fleet on Wednesday evenings at Leschi from mid-April to mid-September in races conducted by the CYC. Six to 10 boats usually race on Wednesday nights. We also participate in selected regattas held at Shilshole Bay on Puget Sound.  We have trophies for the Wednesday night round-the-buoys series, races held on Salt Water and a Fleet Championship that covers all the fleet racing during the year. 

Here are some of the pictures of San Juan's in action: https://janpix.smugmug.com/Events/2018-San-Juan-24-NAs

We also have a number of informal get-togethers during the year to build a strong sense of Fleet cohesion and just have fun!

The Seattle SJ-24 Fleet, part of the San Juan 24 North American Class Association, is based at the Leschi Marina on Lake Washington, although SJ 24s can be found on Lake Union, Shilshole and other marinas in the greater Seattle area. Other Northwest fleets are located in Oak Harbor, Bellingham and Edmonds.
