More than 5,200 J24s are currently sailing worldwide. The boats were built under strict one-design class rules which allow very little deviation in the construction of the boat. Each boat is built to exacting specifications, with strong and lasting construction scantlings that allow J24's to remain highly competitive year after year. The majority of J24's racing now are over fifteen years old. J24s have been featured in a variety of regattas around the world: from the North American and Pan American championships to the European and Asia Pacific championships.

Donor: Owen Kennedy, Nanaimo, BC

General Description:
Inchlonaig was built in 1976. It comes from a make of yacht that was an instant hit the moment production began. Quite aside from her pretty lines -she looks like a 'proper yacht' - solidly built and a good performer. From the outset the Hurley 22 was intended to be raced as well as cruised. The unlikely combination of a long keel and a small spade rudder proved surprisingly effective, and former Hurley owners speak fondly of the little boat's performance and sea kindliness. The boats have proved themselves on long cruises; several 22s have crossed the Atlantic, and at least one has cruised the Pacific.
