Colors Filling Up Fast

With 58 boats already registered for the Changing of the Colors, there are only two slots remaining (for anyone outside of Fleet 24) before the event is officially sold out. After that, the only way in is to move to Lake George and join the local fleet...

UPDATE: The event is now full, and there's a waiting list.

J/24 Event in Rochester May 31 - June 1

30th Anniversary of the Colors in 2008

There's still snow in the forecast, but it's never too early to start planning for the Changing of the Colors. This year is the 30th Anniversary of Fleet 24's J/24 regatta, so we should see at least as many boats as last year's near-record fleet of 64. Check out the Fleet 24 page for all the details.

Update — 44 of 60 available slots are already spoken for as of April 5! Get your registration in early.

J/24 Worlds Underway in Puerto Vallarta

The Z flags and Black flags abound, not completely unexpected when you get 70 J/24s together. New York's Mike Ingham on Brain Cramp is doing well, currently in fourth place after three days of racing in the warm weather and great breeze on Mexico's Banderas Bay.
