J/24 Tri-Radial S.F. Class Jib

Built for the month of August in San Francisco, the J/24 Tri-Radial S.F. Jib can handle any velocity and sea state. This is our most popular heavy air jib for the J/24. Known for its controllable power and rugged durability, this is the sail of choice for the top J/24 teams. Having two world championships under its belt, there's a reason why J/24 teams choose Quantum. The S.F. Jib delivers reliable shape and an extra level of control in breezy conditions.

J/24 Genoa MaxQ-2

The new MAXQ-2 sail is the ticket to speed, durability, minimum weight, and maximum performance. It's a versatile sail that can handle up-range wind speeds and has power in the downrange chop. The Quantum team developed the sail using an all-new cloth and with a design that focused on entry, optimized groove, and overall shape, resulting in a sail that excels across the wind range in all conditions. Maintaining the faster shape in light breeze, and, with a few adjustments, a flatter, controllable shape in medium-to-heavy air sailing proved successful in its debut, winning the 2022 J/24 North American Championship.

INCLUDES: Draft stripes, telltales, sail numbers, tube bag, and the J/24 Class Royalty.

Carter White

Carter White began sailing before he could walk, going on trips in the family's Lightning and then their J/24. He has experienced the beauty of the Gulf of Maine in a variety of cruising and racing boats. Having sailed and raced on multiple continents and at hundreds of locations, Carter considers the Maine coast of one the best places in the world to sail.

An accomplished junior sailor, Carter competed on the national level in multiple National Championships including the U.S. Sailing Bemis and Sears competitions. He then took a chance on an upstart college program at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, where he majored in Economics and joined an aggressive, young, and new sailing team. He helped build the program into a national contender almost immediately; by his senior year, the program was ranked number one in the country. Carter was named All American for outstanding performance in inter-collegiate sailing competition.

After college, Carter worked for a local sailmaker in Maine where he learned to design, build, and repair sails; install marine rigging; and manage a small business. He enjoyed helping the company grow into the leading local source for sails, canvas, and rigging. During this time, Carter sailed with many customers, helping them win major championships such as the PHRF New England Championships and Key West Race Week.

Carter ultimately started his own business, managing sailing regattas and providing custom apparel and marketing products to marine businesses and events. Originally started in 2007 as Regatta Promotions, Carter set out to help yacht clubs and sailing organizations run better regattas. The business is still going strong today. Having successfully accomplished his mission, Carter and his wife, Molly, are now offering their years of product knowledge and expertise through You Regatta. You Regatta is located in the same facility as Quantum Sails Downeast in Falmouth, Maine.

One-design sailing is where Carter has showcased his sailing talents, winning three U.S. National Championships in three different one-designs. He won the prestigious U.S. Sailing Mallory Cup in 2017, skippering a J/70 at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club as a representative of the Portland Yacht Club and SailMaine. He has skippered his J/24 You Regatta to many top finishes including fifth at the 2017 J/24 Worlds and second at the 2019 J/24 Midwinter Championships. Carter has won events sailing a variety of boats, including Swan 42, J/24, Lightning, Hinckley 51 SW, Custom 27’, Frers 36 & 41, Farr 30, Beneteau 36.7, J/80, J/70, 420, J/105, Etchells, Laser, Vanguard 15, and S2 9.1

While Carter has been working with Quantum, he has enjoyed the opportunities and rewards to reconnect with past clients in new ways that continue his true passion of helping sailors get more out of their boats, whether on the race course, gunkholing down the coast, or making a long ocean passage.
