The IC24 Sailboat has become the most popular one-design keelboat class in the Caribbean.
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.
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.
This is where the contemporary boat builder shows us his skills. Morgan Avery built the mold that has been used to laminate 38 decks so far. The mold was used to build the St.thomas fleet and then came to Tortola where Chris Spencer of BVI Painters rattled off 12 decks for the BVI fleet. It is now in Puerto Rico Rico (Sept 2007) where Fraito Lugo and his father are halfway through building their fleet of 12 boats.
The build process starts by spending an intense half hour-or-so cutting everything from about 18″ aft of the mast out of the donor J/24. Yes folks, that means the kitchen sink too. Now, with perfect access to the interior, renovations to the bulkheads, core and the floorpan supporting the keel can take place. Before the new deck is bonded in place the entire interior is epoxy painted. Now the flange where the new deck is to be bonded in is carefully prepped.
The deck fills the rather large hole you have created exactly, sometimes a cargo strap or two will ensure this is the case. It is bonded in with structural epoxy and a few bulkheads are thrown in-and-around to continue joining the new deck to the old J24. Then the entire ensemble, including the original foredeck that has had its gel coat anti-skid ground away gets sprayed with pearl grey awlgrip and beads. (Click image for larger view)
Why grind the foredeck? Show me a 25 year old J24 that has no soft spots up front! Core repairs are always required in our experience. Additionally you can’t beat a professionally applied awlgrip non-skid finish for looks and traction. Your shorts wear out pretty quickly though!
The topsides and the rudder get awlgrip, any colour. Now fit brand new Harken fittings everywhere and rig new halyards, sheets and control lines. You have already spent a few days restoring the mast and boom. They get two coats of epoxy paint, all sheaves rolling and new standing rigging. The stanchion bases are new and custom made.
The boat looks like new. Add some new sails and there you have it, a sexy new IC24, ready for action. We started selling them at $18,500 but the asking price has now climbed to $25,000 minus sails and a race bottom. Each boat built pays a royalty to Chris Rosenberg who holds the patent.
There are 15 boats in St.Thomas, 14 in the BVI, 5 in P.Rico (soon to be 10) and 2 at the BEYC, Virgin Gorda. Chris Rosenberg’s vision is to see healthy IC24 fleets dotted around the Caribbean. The new ‘Flying Tiger’ will be stiff competition but the BVI, St.Thomas and Puerto Rico fleets are well established.
Sailing an IC24 is not unlike sailing a J24. No surprises there. The big difference is the comfort level. The mainsheet has no track, there is nothing to bang into. The 100% jib is easily winched in on the windward side. The boat is rigged for a spinnaker and they are being used more and more at local regattas. It was always Chris Rosenberg’s intention to use the IC24 as an entry-level race boat. You really don’t have to be Russell Coutts or Peter Holmberg to do well!
We have our own rules that have been adapted from the J24 rules, we have a class association, a technical committee and measurers. So get on down to the NE Caribbean and see these beauties for yourself! Vistors will always get a ride.

By Colin Rathbun “The idea for the IC24, or Inter-Club 24, began back in 2000 when STYC members pondered how to jump-start racing following the decimation of the sailing fleet after successive hurricanes. "We desperately needed a boat for club racing that was economical, fast, dependable and comfortable," explained Rosenberg. "And we wanted a design that could give rebirth to keelboat racing as well as promote inter-club competitions." As an avid Melges 24 sailor, Rosenberg naturally envisioned key aspects of this design, yet in less of a high performance form. "Basically, we've taken a Melges 24-style cockpit and put it in a J/24 body," he said. "There are around 3,000 J/24s on the U.S. mainland, of which only about four or five hundred are actually racing. We don't want to kill off the J/24, but with only one in six actually racing, we wanted to take some of the other hulls and actually do something with them." In the new design, a used J/24 hull is fitted with a new Melges 24-style deck mold that is wider, has no traveler, and is capable of carrying five sailors.” For more information on the IC24 class, visit: http://www.ic24.org/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Also for sale: Jeanneau 52.2 “Igoodia” Designer: Bruce Farr Builder: Jeanneau Yachts Hull type: Fin w/ bulb & spade rudder Rig type: Masthead sloop Extensive racing & cruising sail inventory: - Brand new Doyle cruising sails (never used) o includes cruising asymmetric gennaker o Roller Furling Main and Genoa o New cruising halyards - New Doyle race sails o Carbon Heavy – never used o Carbon Medium – used once (St. Maarten Regatta) o Carbon Light – never used o Carbon Racing Main – lightly used o ¾ Oz Spinnaker – used once (St. Maarten Regatta) o 1.2 Oz Spinnaker – new o Spinnaker – used once (St. Maarten Regatta) o Carbon Spinnaker Pole o New racing halyards Successful Caribbean racing pedigree: - Antigua Race Week – 1 st Place (x4) - St. Maarten Heineken Regatta – 1 st Place (x6) - Round Tortola – 1 st Place (x3) Master Stateroom forward with queen size birth and full private head and shower.

 IC-24 Column – Puerto Rico Next Island to Initiate IC24 Program You know you want it...Mocka Jumbies and Rum... Plenty of sailing talent, a longstanding and strong J/24 program, a ratings controversy that dampened handicap racing, and a taste of actually sailing an IC24 via regattas held over the last few years all sewed the seed for an IC24 class to now form in Puerto Rico. Efrain “Fraito” Lugo, well known for skippering his J/24, Orion , to many Caribbean regatta victories, is spearheading the program. “We would never want to kill the J/24 class in Puerto Rico. After all, it’s the boat used in the Central American and Caribbean Games and Pan American Games. But we are trying to cash in on those sailors here on the island that are not sailing any more. We also want to help grow the class. The IC24 is now the hot class in the Caribbean.” The impetus that got the Puerto Rican IC24 fleet rolling came in the form of a lucky break finding used J/24s for sale. “One of my crew, Robbie Ramos, called me one morning and told me he saw on the Internet that the U.S. Navel Academy in Annapolis was selling 12 boats. I told him to find out more information. Then about two hours later, Chris Rosenberg called to tell me the same thing. After that, the rest is history,” Lugo says. Lugo got his call mid-October and three weeks later 10 of the J/24s were in Puerto Rico. “My father and I flew up to Annapolis. We spent three days loading the boats and getting them to the port in New Jersey. In the meantime, Stanley Lopez had helped us negotiate a good rate through Crowley Shipping. We paid a rate of $4,500 for a flat rack that held two boats. Add to that that we paid $4,000 for each J/24 and we got a good deal. Normally, a J/24 that is $4,000 is a real junker. These boats were still in sailing condition.” The J/24s were transported to Ponce once they arrived in Puerto Rico. “They are in my shop. Last summer, when my wife and I were cruising in the British Virgin Islands, we stopped and picked up the mold to make the conversion from the guys at Racing in Paradise. My father and I will start the conversions by mid-November. Our plan is to remove the old deck, build and install the new one and complete the conversions for each boat in about two weeks,” Lugo says. All 10 of the new IC24s already have private owners. “The Barretto brothers who used to sail Catimba bought one. Michael Serrales bought another. Robbie Ramos, Sr., who used to sail with Eric Tulla on Son of Syndicate , will be our first boat to convert. And Fernando Irizarry, who had Por Fin , is another owner,” Lugo relates. Puerto Rico’s new IC24 fleet owners are about evenly split between San Juan and Ponce. “We hope we can agree on one place to keep the boats so we can all sail together and have regular races,” Lugo says. He adds, “We hope to have seven IC’s from Puerto Rico ready to enter the CORT Series and start off with the St. Croix International Regatta in February.” The addition of the Puerto Rican IC24 fleet could swell the start line at St. Thomas’ International Rolex Regatta, where the IC24 class debuted in 2002, to 25 to 26 boats. “This was always my dream for the J/24 Class, a lot of boats on the start line. But the most we ever had was 15 boats in 1998,” he says. In the future, Puerto Rico is looking at adding even more IC24s to its fleet, Lugo says. “We have 8 to 9 J/24s actively being sailed in Puerto Rico and another 5 or 6 boats that are not used. We are looking both on-island and off for hulls and would like to convert another 3 to 4 boats.” Don't Miss a Beat!Stay in the loop with the Caribbean LEAVE A REPLY Cancel replySave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
