The 2026 J24 World Championship is being held at the iconic Sandringham Yacht Club in Melbourne from the 4 - 11th November.

The Organising Committee is excited and proud to announce the confirmation of our Title Sponsor, Peerless Industrial Systems. They are an Australian company with an international client base involved in the manufacture of Industrial Epoxy Resin Systems under the brand name EPIGEN.

Peerless Industrial Systems have been an industry leader since 1970 in the development and provision of resin-based technology, they are dedicated professionals with technical expertise in the Mining, Water and Power, Oil and Gas, Mineral Processing, Refining, Pipeline, Material Handling and storage industries. Their resin systems are also used in boatbuilding industries throughout Australia and overseas.

Nick Subotsch from Peerless is excited to come on board with us, "The opportunity to work with an international event like this is the sort of excitement we love being involved with, giving back to active and forward-thinking people is what our company is all about and it is a perfect match for us".

With our major sponsor 'Epigen' coming on board, the regatta is assured of being a huge success for local and overseas competitors alike. Already we are receiving a number of overseas competitors letting us know they want to come to Melbourne.

Now is the time to be thinking about coming 'down under' in 2026.
