2025 J/24 US National Championship

Forty J/24 teams from across the continent gathered November 21-23 for the 2025 J/24 US National Championship where they were dealt light and challenging conditions in Jacksonville, FL. The top survivor was Paul Abdullah with crew Ian Hunter, Tucker Gilliam, Jeff Hayden, and Max Vinocur.

Racing was scheduled to begin Friday, but a complete absence of wind kept the fleet ashore. Saturday delivered shifty, inconsistent breeze that allowed the Race Committee to complete three races, with a fourth race abandoned as conditions deteriorated. On Sunday, the Race Committee once again attempted to get racing underway, but the wind never materialized, solidifying Saturday’s results as final.
