Racing
Our Racing Courses are designed to help you excel on the race course in any position on the boat. Our Spinnaker & Race Boat Handling course is for intermediate level sailors who are either new to racing or are not yet fluent in each position as a racing crew. Onboard instruction includes an orientation to the spinnaker (asymmetric) and its use around the racecourse, crew assignments, sail trim and shape, tacking, gybing, starting drills, and short course racing with instructor’s review. You will rotate among all the positions onboard throughout the course. The course features lectures on upwind/downwind strategy and tactics, starting strategy and tactics, performance sail trim, plus rules fundamentals.
J World sponsors Thursday Night Racing every Thursday evening during the summer sailing season. In order to secure a position on a J World boat, you need to have some practical experience sailing a keelboat using an Asymmetric spinnaker. You need to contact the J World office in advance to secure a position on the boat.
