Congratulations Warren Collier who earned a spot as a judge at the 2026 Epigen J24 World Championship in Melbourne!
ONE PROTEST CHANGED EVERYTHING
Sometimes the smallest moments shape an entire sailing career.
For Warren Collier, it wasn't winning a championship or crossing a finish line first.
It was helping his daughter.
After she lodged a protest at a regatta, Warren helped her prepare a National Appeal with US Sailing. Hours spent studying the Racing Rules sparked something completely unexpected.
"I decided to become a certified judge."
Today, after more than 42 years of racing and over 30 years sailing J/24s, Warren will be part of the International Jury for the 2026 Epigen J/24 World Championship.
Funny how one protest can change the course of a sailing life.
Has there been a single moment that changed your sailing journey?
The Epigen J24 World Championships 2026 is shaping up to be something special.
