American Rod Johnstone designed the J/24, a one-design boat, in the mid-1970s.
Since 1977, it has been manufactured and at present, at least 5,500 hulls have been constructed throughout the globe.
The J/24 has significantly contributed to the popularity of competitive sailing, and numerous internationally recognised racing personalities have won international J/24 championships.
This class still thrives and remains a favourite among owners and crews of all levels.
