Clean Sweep for Local J24 Keelboat Ace on Lough Erne

2nd June 2013

Local J24 ace JP McCaldin, sailing Jamais Encore had a clean sweep on the first day of the J24 Northerns in Lough Erne and the no wind conditions on Sunday meant no more races were sailed.

While some boats challenged JP in the different races in the 15 knots that prevailed on Saturday his consistency left little scope for anyone to gain a sufficient advantage.

The next J24 Championship will be in Lough Ree on June 22nd.

About the J24 keelboat

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.
