They won the J/24 Europeans in The Netherlands in July. Then as September was getting into its stride, they won the J/24 Worlds in Plymouth. And now in the last weekend of that same month of September 2025, this "almost-all-Ireland-crew" have retained the J/24 Irish National title at what is most nearly their home club, Lough Ree YC, plumb in the middle of Ireland.
This is a J/24 being used precisely as creator Rod Johnstone envisaged. And their Headcase win at the Worlds was a particularly clearcut performance – no "ifs" and "ands" or "buts" about it. We salute a pure gold team performance.
