Bruce Kirby designed this boat to be a winner from the start. First launched in 1972, she proved to be a classic in design, speed, looks, popularity price. There are over a thousand sailing world-wide. In IOR heyday, the SJ24 held more IOR certificates than any other boat design.
She's recognized to be particularly strong in light air yet is also competitive in winds above 20 kts. She won overall best performance honors in Yachtings 10th One-of-a-kind regatta at Annapolis and first in division in a fleet that averaged 30 feet in length.
