Introduction to Sailboat Racing & Rules
J World Sailing School
and Sailing Club , the top rated
sailing school in the country, has been offering
racing instruction and coaching and coaching since our
founding over 30 years ago. For more info about our racing
courses, visit here.
Designed as a foundation course for racers, this five-day
introduction to sailboat racing and rules is a broad-based
sailing course
that covers race boat handling as well as basic strategy and
tactics. Taught aboard our identical
J80's there will be no more
than four people aboard each boat plus an instructor, which
guarantees participants plenty of personal attention.
Each day
at
J World Sailing School begins with a chalk talk and then proceeds onto the water.
During the week, we dissect sailboat racing and then by Friday put
it back together to compete against all of the race boats in the J
World Friday Regatta.
Onboard instruction includes orientation to
the spinnaker and its use around the racecourse, crew assignments,
sail shape and trim, tacking, gybing and starting drills, and short
course racing. This class will take your racing skills further than
a whole season of trial and error racing.

background, but with limited time on the helm while racing, or those
