Congrats to Rossi Milev of the Port Credit Yacht Club and his crew for finishing first at the J/24 US Nationals this past weekend!

The 2026 J/24 U.S. National Championship, sponsored by Portland Yacht Services, opened Friday in Portland, ME with 33 boats facing a demanding day on the water that tested crews with everything from light air to a dramatic 180-degree wind shift. The Championship fleet features an impressive 26 Corinthian teams, along with three female helms — two racing with all-female crews — and four teams under the age of 30.

The day began with a postponement as Race Committee waited for the predicted light breeze to develop. Once competition got underway, competitors completed one race before the seabreeze arrived and freshened the conditions. The second race was initially started but had to be abandoned after the wind shifted 180 degrees. Race Committee then relocated the course and successfully completed a second race, giving the fleet two races for the opening day. With conditions changing throughout the day, crews faced a constant challenge of adjusting their strategy. These dramatic shifts resulted in plenty of gear changes — and various changes on the leaderboard.

After two races, Rossi Milev’s Clear Air (CAN) leads the Championship with finishes of 1-2 for 3 points. Aidan Glackin’s Mental Floss (USA) is second with 2-3 for 5 points, while John Mollicone’s Sparcraft (USA) sits third with 5-4 for 9 points. Milev’s Clear Air led the opening race, followed by Glackin’s Mental Floss and Mike Stasko’s Corinthian Redline. Joseph Murphy’s Rockstar claimed the second race, with Milev and Glackin following in second and third. The Corinthian competition is also tightly contested, with Stasko’s Redline leading, followed by Steve Callison’s Whiskey River and Ted Wiedeke’s Caramella.

With a challenging opening day in the books, the fleet will return to the waters of Casco Bay through Sunday.

Skipper Vince Somoza and the crew of Mojito (Nepean Sailing Club) took first place at La Coupe du Québec hosted by the Pointe-Claire Yacht Club this past weekend. Eriks Kalvins and the crew of Black Pearl (Ashbridge’s Bay Yacht Club) took 2nd place, while John Rae and the crew of ShinDig (Nepean Sailing Club) took 3rd. Only one point separated the top 3 boats. The return of La Coupe du Québec to the Montréal area saw eleven crews from eight yacht clubs take part in the two-day event.

Day one brought light, shifty winds and stifling heat to challenge the competitors over three races. Day two brought moderate to heavy winds over 5 races. Both days saw competitive racing and multiple position changes, with the top boats regularly rounding the windward and leeward marks in very close proximity.

The event was also the final of the Canadian Series to award qualifying berths for the 2027 J/24 World Championship in Rochester, New York. The top three boats with combined points from the J/24 Ontario Championship held at ABYC in May, and La Coupe du Québec are ShinDig, Black Pearl, and Cluster (Andrew Kenny, RCYC). One all-youth team led by Cailem Austin of the Hudson Yacht Club finished 7th overall and collected points towards winning the Youth Team berth for next year’s World Championship.

The J/24 Canada event schedule will conclude September 30 - October 4 with the J/24 North American Championship hosted by the Port Credit Yacht Club. It will also be the final World Qualifying event.

After careful consideration, the J/24 Canada Council has decided not to reschedule the 2026 Canadian Championship. Instead, we believe our time and resources will be better invested in supporting the two remaining events on this year's calendar:

North American Championship - Port Credit Yacht Club, September 30 - October 4: https://2026j24nachampionship.com

An updated explanation of the 2027 World Championship qualifying berth allocation will be available on the J/24 Canada Events page. https://www.j24canada.ca/events
