If you’re traveling to the U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, or elsewhere in the Caribbean and love adventure on the water, IC24 sailboat racing is an experience you won’t want to miss.
The IC24 is perfect for beginners and seasoned sailors alike.
This user‑friendly design is why IC24s are popular with local sailing programs like Kids and the Sea and with visitors looking for active vacations. Many guests pick up the basics in just a few lessons, with training available at places like the Bitter End Yacht Club in Virgin Gorda.
Beyond learning, IC24s are at the heart of exciting regattas across the Virgin Islands. Every year, teams from around the world gather to compete, filling the horizon with colorful sails and lively competition. Whether you join a race or watch from the deck, it’s an unforgettable way to experience Caribbean sailing culture.
The IC24 was first designed in St. Thomas by Chris Rosenberg and Morgan Avery after Hurricane Marilyn in 1995. Since then, it has become one of the most popular keelboats worldwide, with more than 5,200 hulls in use today.
