J-24s Reborn as IC-24s
Catherine Murray and Gary Warner

We’ve often described the Bitter End as a candy store for sailors: choose one, enjoy it and come back for another — boat, that is.

Now there is a new taste at BEYC and, as the first guests to sample it, we have a singular opinion. Sweet!

The J-24s have undergone a transformation and are now Interclub 24s. Gone is the cramped cockpit and knee-busting, main-sheet traveler. Removing the old cockpit made way for dropping in a Melges 24-style cockpit which is enormous — plenty of room for six (or more!).

With the main-sheet block floor mounted, molded foot grips, comfortable new seating, and plenty of room to maneuver, the 24s are all set for a casual day sail or serious racing.

Our maiden voyage had the rub rail in the water as we blew across North Sound. We rate the new cockpit as a real winner…it’s like sailing an entirely new 24.

In a word: sweet!
