If anyone’s in the market for a quality kite and wants to help us promote (and fund) the 2026 J/24 Epigen World Championship… this is your moment

The Australian J24 Association has been gifted 4 White North Spinnakers for promoting the upcoming worlds in Melbourne.

Epigen has given the association permission to sell the spinnakers to help fund the worlds and promotion of the class on the proviso that they continue to be used on a regular basis and in the major regattas leading up to t...

With bush fires ranging throughout Victoria and a Westerly change at gale force, another abandonment was decreed by Race Committee, ending the Regatta.

Fortunately after 2 racing days and 6 races we were able to declare the winners of each division.

With lots of time to socialise along with photos, steak sandwiches and drinks from the bar, many a story was shared spreading the J24 love amongst the crews from Victoria, interstate and of course our guests from China, Japan and USA. So many g...

Day 3 Gale warning on the bay today, 43 degrees of blazing heat with many uncontrolled bush fires raging. No sailing.

Our thoughts go out to those who have life and property threatened by the catastrophic conditions and the CFA, SES and Emergency services working tirelessly fighting the bush fires.

What a difference 24 hours makes! As the winds swung from the North to the South West overnight and the swell increased, Port Phillip Bay turned on a show.

With the start of Race 4 hit by a few sustained 27 knot gusts the race course was not one for the faint hearted with base breeze around 21 knots.

A 1.5-2 meter sea for good measure saw crews lost overboard (and recovered), boats damaged and returning the Marina, there was definitely a bit on.

Highlights of the day included Amuse Bouc...

Well didn’t Melbourne turn it on. 41 degrees with a Northerly building and gusting over 20knots. Fortunately on the water was the coolest place to be.

The day started with a briefing from Race Management followed by an acknowledgment of the recent passing of our beloved longtime Australian j24 President Steve Wright.

Steve’s trimmer Ian Goodbury (now skipper on Steve’s boat Tinto for the Regatta) spoke of Steve’s love for the sailing community and his desire for his crew along with his wif...

So here we are on the eve of the 2026 J24 Australian J24 Championship (doubling as the Epigen Worlds selection trials) with 27 entries. Teams are from QLD, NSW, SA, WA & three international skippers (USA, Japan & China). All boats are now rigged, tuned, measured, polished, in the pond and ready to rumble.

Yesterday the conversation was all about rig tune, final practice and deep data analysis on weather forecast.

Today there was only one question on everyone’s lips, when can my cre...
