The U.S. J/24 Class is pleased to announce the launch of the Kelly Holmes-Moon J/24 Boat Grant Program. This program is targeted toward sailors in their twenties who would like the chance to put a crew together and campaign a J/24 of their own but do not have the means to purchase a boat.

The U.S. J/24 Class would like to offer a young skipper and crew a "race ready" J/24, trailer, suit of sails and mentor for the 2017-2018 sailing season. This program is open to any team in the continental United States.

For more information and details on the application process, please visit the J/24 U.S. Class website at j24usa.com/boat-grant-program.
