Banderas Bay Regatta & Clinic
March, 2008
Banderas Bay Regatta is a special
event. Participants range from flat-out racers, to cruising
vessels who 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 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 Race Week (Intro
and Advanced) pages for details on
the topics which 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 which the Vallarta
Yacht Club has planned.
Each of our J/80s will have teams of three students and 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. Visit

details.
