Shark 24 Worlds – 150 Jubilee

The Shark 24 World Championship regatta (June 27- July 2) was granted by the International Shark Class Association to BQYC for 2026, specifically to honour and acknowledge its 150th anniversary.

The Shark 24 is a 24 foot long sailboat, sailed by 3 persons, and is recognized by World Sailing as one of only 47 one-design keelboat classes.

The Shark 24 World Championship is held annually, rotating between Canada and Europe, involving about 40 boats (120 sailors) from Canada, USA, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, plus international judges and race officers, and volunteers.

The Shark 24 Worlds are open for viewing by the public from Belleville’s Meyers Pier, when races take place south of the Pier.
(We understand that there may be limited access to the end of Meyers Pier due to City of Belleville construction)

The Racing will take place on these bodies of water on the Bay of Quinte.
