J/24 - Practical Sailor
The J/24 was originally designed to sail at a displacement of 2,800 pounds. The class minimum was later increased to 3,100. The original single axle trailer provide as a factory option was barely adequate for the intended, 2,800 pound boat, and totally inadequate for a fully loaded boat.
Perry Design Review: J/24 - boats.com
The first is pure boat speed. The J/24 is a stiff boat with lots of horsepower and sailing length. The hull lines are very clean and wetter surface is at a minimum. The J/24 is not an ultra-light. It has a D/L ratio of 150, which puts it just on the edge of "medium."
J/24 or Martin 241/242 | Sailing Anarchy Forums
The Martin can easily be raced with three folks rather than 4 or 5 which makes getting crew easier (for me). Plus at the time the Martins were less money than the J-24's. Speeds on the Martins are slightly faster and the boat is lighter and livelier which appealed to me coming from an Olson 30.
J/24 - Sailing Magazine
The J/24 is a fractional rig sloop with aluminum spars. Safety features include stainless bow and stern pulpits, and stanchions with lifelines. Dents in the pulpits may be an indication the boat suffered a collision. Wiggle each stanchion to check for firmness and inspect the base for stress cracks.
J/24 Used Boat Review - SpinSheet
J/24 Used Boat Review. Posted April 5, 2017. It was a cool, crisp May day, the wind was out of the southwest at 12 to 14, the water was nearly flat calm, and there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Even though my first sail on a J/24 was nearly 20 years ago, I still remember the afternoon sail on Sodus Bay in upstate New York as if it were yesterday.

J/Boats J/24: Oldie But Goodie. J/Boats J/24 remains a popular, reliable racer. By Roger Marshall. May 14, 2001. When it first hit the marketplace the J/24 was relatively inexpensive. A mere $15,000 would buy you a new boat and get it on the water. That fact, aided by very astute marketing by Bob Johnstone, built the class in a hurry.
J/24 2021 Year in Review - Quantum Sails
J/24 2021 Year in Review. November 1, 2021. It’s that time of year when things slow down, when we sit home on the weekend and sense the end of the sailing season. I look back on the season and think through what our team did well, what we didn’t do so well, and what we can improve on next season. I also look back at how awesome the ...
