Yonder Takes the Crown: Inside the 2024 J/70 World Championship Victory

The J/70 Worlds has a new champion! Yonder (USA), the team from Newport, Rhode Island, powered by North Sails and skippered by Douglas Newhouse with Jeremy Wilmot on tactics, led from Day 1 and never looked back, clinching the world title after five phenomenal days on the Bay of Palma. The team praised their North Sails setup for providing the perfect balance of speed. "Once we switched to North, we had it all," Newhouse shared. Yonder also sported #NorthSailsPerformanceClothing, ensuring they performed their best on the water. In addition, Brutus II (GBR), skippered by Charles Thompson with North expert Ben Saxton onboard, secured 3rd place overall, finishing strong with a win in the final race. Tim Ryan’s Vamos (AUS) topped the One Pro division, while Alec Cutler’s Hedgehog (BER) and Sofia Giondi’s Wanderlust (ITA) earned podium finishes in the Corinthian fleet. With North-powered boats excelling across divisions, it’s safe to say that this regatta will go down as another incredible chapter in the #NSVictoryList.
