The J24 Class NSW Championship 2020 is being planned for the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club on Pittwater, over the 31Oct-01Nov weekend. NOR released!!!
Please note, all organisation for this event is based on the expectation of a relaxation to the current COVID-19 rules, restricting competitors from different regions being together. Expected announcement date 07Oct.
We are asking entries to start rolling in for planning purposes. Entries are open through the RPAYC Regatta page. Payment option will commence 07Oct.
At the recent J24 National Committee meeting it was decided the first six placegetters and the all-girl team from the 2020 Australian Championships held on Sydney Harbour, would be able to enter the 2021 J24 Worlds in Poole. This is in accordance with the IJCA announcement. Subject to International Travel restrictions being lifted, these qualifiers must advise the National Committee of their intention to participate in Poole by end of November 2020. Should any of these qualifiers decide not to participate, then the six qualifiers from the 2021 Australian Championships may enter instead. Preference will be given in the order of the placegetters. Any of the six 2021 qualifiers (plus an all-girl crew and Youth Boat) who do not wish to go to Poole may instead will be considered for the 2022 World Championships to be held in Argentina in March 2022. This allows them 14 months to prepare for these Championships.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please refer these to your National Committee member.
Completely refurbed Mast – all fixings/ blocks removed cleaned and/or replaced. (Tefgel barrier also applied)
Mast comes with All halyards and new Rigging ( will be made custom to your boat).

Following a meeting of the International J24 World Council last night (20 April) the 2020 World Championships to be held in Poole, UK has been postponed to late Sept 2021. This will be dependent on the lifting of the current travel restrictions by that time.
In addition, the following World Championships have also been moved:
With the current health situation and the necessary restrictions on travel and gathering, we have obviously had to cancel the June Winter Regatta.
If everyone follows the advice on ‘social distancing’ and personal hygiene, we would hopefully see some progress in controlling the situation by then, but restrictions and a high level of caution will need to be in place for some months to come.
Let’s look forward to the NSW State Championships and hope we will all be able to get together again in November.
Always a tough competitive regatta, the Vic States also has a tradition of great hospitality and social get together.
The Vic States this year are to be held at Sandringham Yacht Club on March 28/29.
