J/World Midwinter Clinics Announcement

(San Diego, CA)- The J/World Performance Sailing School is offering two most excellent training programs for a nice midwinter break; one in conjunction with the Southern California Midwinters Regatta and the other in conjunction with the Banderas Bay Regatta in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico!  Here is more information on these two fabulous programs for getting yourself back "in tune" to sail fast and smart!

Midwinters Clinic and Regatta
San Diego, February 8-12
One of our most popular clinic+regatta combos, the Midwinters in San Diego presents the perfect opportunity for a training session in the mild winter climate of Southern California accompanied by an all-star team of J/World coaches. Three days in an abridged version of our renowned racing weeks followed by two days racing in a real regatta with a J/World coach aboard.  We send you home happy, AND faster, higher, smarter...

Southern California Yachting Association Midwinters is one of the largest multi-class sailing events in North America. The Regatta is supported by 27 SCYA member yacht clubs that participate throughout Southern California and stretching into Arizona. This is the perfect way to dust off the winter rust and hone your skills, in order to prepare your boat and crew for the next season. Come enjoy the beautiful year-round conditions in San Diego, and leave faster than your competition.

J/World, the Performance Sailing School, will be offering sailors the opportunity to come play (and learn) during this special event.  At our J/World San Diego facility, we will be hosting a three day racing clinic prior to the regatta, which will include boathandling, sail handling, strategy, tactics, rules, etc. etc…  all the elements which will contribute to a successful regatta.  Please refer to our Racing Courses (Intro and Advanced) pages for details on the topics that will be covered.

Then it is test time…  and we have the ultimate test:  a real regatta!  Each of our J/80s will have teams of three students plus one coach per boat.  Everyone aboard will rotate through all the positions while getting the positive insights of one of our renowned J/World instructors.

The cost is $1,495 per person (plus 10% Port Taxes; full pricing policies here).  Availability is limited, so be sure to reserve your space early ($400 deposit).  Call 800-910-1101

Banderas Bay Clinic and Regatta
Puerto Vallarta, February 26-March 4
Every winter J/World hosts a truly special racing event out of our Puerto Vallarta office.  We begin with a three-day racing clinic aboard our fleet of J/80s.  Sail trim, boat handling, starting, tactics, rules...  you name it, and we cover it! Wednesday is a lay day, then Thursday-Sunday we race in the ever fun Banderas Bay Regatta. This year J/World will be running four J/80s in the event, and we have only two spaces left! Looking for a tropical getaway and a great time sailing?  Done.

The Banderas Bay Regatta is a special event held every March at our Puerto Vallarta Sailing Center.  Participants range from flat-out racers, to cruising vessels that have sailed the seas to enjoy the wonders of Banderas Bay.  The regatta represents the culmination of the month-long “Festival Nautico” in Puerto Vallarta, and has become a favorite of locals and visitors.

J/World, the Performance Sailing School, will be offering sailors the opportunity to come play (and learn) during this special event.  We will be hosting a three day racing clinic prior to the regatta, which will include boathandling, sail handling, strategy, tactics, rules, etc. etc…  all the elements which will contribute to a successful regatta.  Please refer to our Racing Courses (Intro and Advanced) pages for details on the topics that will be covered.

Then it is test time…  and we have the ultimate test:  a real regatta!  The event is a perfect blend of positive attitudes, friendly competition, and ideal weather.  Participation in the event of course includes participation in all the land-based activities that the Vallarta Yacht Club has planned.

Each of our J/80s will have teams of three students plus one coach per boat.  Everyone aboard will rotate through all the positions while getting the positive insights of one of our renowned J World instructors. The host facility, the Paradise Village Resort, also offers great room rates for regatta participants, so bring the friend and family along for a fun vacation.

This year, J/World is inviting all boat owners/teams to attend our pre-regatta clinic.  Classroom sessions will cover sail trim, boat-handling, strategy, tactics, and rules.  On the water, coaches will conduct practice races and provide feedback on a wide range of topics.

The cost is $1,595 per person (plus tax; full pricing policies here).  Reserve your space early ($400 deposit), as this event always sells out!  Call 800-910-1101
