Annual Offshore Cruise
Hawaii to California!

Each Summer, J World hosts a truly special offshore adventure for sailors looking to learn the intricacies of offshore passage making on an actual adventure.  Departing in early August, we will be sailing across the Eastern Pacific from Hawaii to San Francisco. 

This provides an excellent opportunity to rack up some serious sea miles offshore under the watchful eyes of our professional staff.  Everyone is an active member of the crew, and gets to share in all the responsibilities of onboard life.  From navigating to standing watches, from trimming sails to helming the boat, you can learn by doing. 

The boat is our J/120, which will have just completed the Pacific Cup race to Hawaii.  It if fully equipped with all the top-tier equipment that you would expect, and the boat sails wonderfully. 

The direct course is some 2000 miles, but your trip will take you along the sailing ship route, heading north from the islands until you can cut across the top of the Pacific High.  This will get you into the steady West and Northwest winds which will be your ticket for the final ride home. 

The trip is expected to take about 18 days, but it could (of course) be a bit longer or shorter, depending on the conditions. 

Sailors interested in being part of this adventure are encouraged to contact us immediately.  There are a very limited number of spaces available!
