Good luck to Annapolis Racers!

Pappa Willie

Here at J World we are in the final prep stages for Annapolis Race Week which starts on Saturday.  We have three student J 80s (Wild Horses, Willie T, and Emotional Rescue), our long time friend Courageous (also a J 80) and our latest edition, Danger Mouse racing in the J 70 class.  It appears like it is going to a beautiful weekend, maybe a bit light.  Our J 80s will be practicing Thursday and Friday, any J 80s that would like to join us you are welcome.  We will monitor channel 72 and anticipate doing some practice starts at 1300 on Friday.

We wish all the racers safe, clean, fun racing.  Sail Fast!

Commissioning of Danger Mouse

Long time racing student Taz Coffey has purchased a new J 70 which is going to reside at J World for the next two years. We held a commissioning ceremony for the mighty Danger Mouse Saturday afternoon after her inaugural sail.  Enjoy!

SafeSkipper

Lot’s of sailors spend the winter poring over sailing books to increase their sailing knowledge.  Some even study or take courses that enable them to sit for their USCG Captain’s License.  Studying for this test can be both mind expanding and frustrating as you try to remember accurately the differences between inland and international rules or what shape a boat towing alongside that is greater than 50 meters should display.   Read more
