Testimonials

J World, the Performance Sailing School and Club, was the only school in the nation to attain 100% customer satisfaction in the latest survey of sailing schools performed by Practical Sailor Magazine.  But don't just take their word for it... here's a sampling of what some of our students have had to say about the best sailing school in America

"Just a short note to thank J World for such a fun and productive sail yesterday. I was a bit nervous getting back to racing after so many years out of the sport, but your coach made the experience very enjoyable and I got a lot out of it.  I hope I can retain until January all the tips you gave us us, and I can't wait to take the helm in our next race. And thanks for putting up with an old sea dog that needs to relearn his old tricks as well as pick up a lot of new ones.  [Our J World coach was] a natural teacher, which is a real talent. He was able to teach and correct without being harsh, insulting or overbearing. I know all of us on the boat appreciated his steady, reliable and very professional demeanor. It added immensely to the learning experience, to say nothing of enabling all of us to have a really great time. So again thanks and I'll see you in January.
J.P., Racing Clinic, November 2011

"We had a fantastic time and achieved one of my life long goals - learning to sail.  The Instructors were great and we appreciated their very professional and friendly teaching style.  We'll be back for sure!  Please send our regards to everyone...."
D & A, Learn to Sail, September 2007

"Just wanted to say thanks for a great week taking the Performance Cruising class at J World. Sailing the J80 was mucho fun and that J105 is a rocket!  Both of my  instructors are super talented and I learned more in that one week than I have in quite a while.  I'll be in touch..."
J.K., Performance Cruising, July 2008

"I wanted to thank you for a wonderful trip and the experience of a lifetime. I was and remain extremely impressed with all the preparation and hard work that you put in to make this trip a success for the students. I took from this experience not only a great deal of knowledge on ocean sailing, but also increased confidence in my ability as a sailor."
M.C., Pacific Cup, 2008

"I just wanted to take a minute to express my appreciation for this week's class, and to let you know I was really impressed with my [instructors] as sailors, and as instructors. You have a really great team there!  I certainly got everything I'd hoped for and more. The J/80 was a blast, and the time on my own boat was invaluable. The Friday race was the perfect end to a really good week -- Travis really knows how to make a boat go, even a heavy old cruiser like mine! (And now I do, too!)"
B.W., Race Week & Private Coaching, August, 2008

"Yesterday was our first regatta since I sailed with you in the Bay.  I was at the bow this time. With a short-handed crew and winds between 5-15 Knots we scored 2-1-1 in three races with an overall 1st in the end!  We did put in practice many of the things I learnt from [J World] last weekend; and it obviously worked well!"
O.A., Private Coaching, September 2008

"First of all, I wanted to thank you guys for my awesome learn-to-sail class last week. Going back to work this week was *very* hard! Both [instructors] were great and I hope to see them again!"
H.H., Learn to Sail, October 2008

"For a non-sailor, this was the best introduction to the sport I can imagine.  I learned a tremendous amount from [my instructors], and as an added bonus, had a tremendous amount of fun!"
Anonymous course evaluation, 5/10/05

"Excellent!  Boats were great: modern, fast, well-equipped.  Lots of time on the water was great.  Instruction was a good mix of theory and practice.  Our instructors were terrific:  lots of knowledge and skills, with a great attitude to teach it all. "

"Just wanted to let you know that what I learned at your course has been a great help on the course...  we have really improved downwind, responding to puffs and lulls and really keeping the boat moving, especially in the lighter stuff.  I am able to communicate with my jib trimmer much more efficiently...  Thanks again for a great course."
Jim Posluns, Race Week, 6/24/03
