SAIL YOUR HEART AWAY

The IC24 concept originated in St.Thomas where Chris Rosenberg identified the need for an affordable one-design ‘open cockpit’ keelboat.  Hurricane Marilyn had brutally taken out most of the St.Thomas YC racing fleet and keelboat racing had effectively ground to a halt.  Yacht club members were literally scratching their heads wondering where to go next.

IC24 TEAM EFFORT

Chris Rosenberg worked with ace St.Thomian sailor and boat builder Morgan Avery.  They decided to come up with a design to convert an old but rugged J24, that had survived the hurricane, into a comfortable five-person, user-friendly ‘inter-club’ keelboat.
