Pacific Cup Coming
Up!
Space aboard the legendary Hula Girl still available!
There's a buzz around
San Francisco Bay right now. At every marina in town, you'll
notice select boats being given lots of attention. And out
jetting around Alcatraz you might notice some boats from far and
wide shaking down the systems, taking a look at the sails, and
getting ready the "Fun Race to Hawaii!"
Yes, the Pacific Cup
race from San Francisco to the north shore of Oahu starts in early
July. World renowned for the great competition mixed with
seriously good times, this race takes the fleet into some of the
finest sailing conditions you'll ever find: miles and miles of
downwind surfing on crystal blue swells in tropical conditions.
Team J/World will be
racing over to the Islands on Hula
Girl, a turboed Santa Cruz 50 built and optimized for
offshore events just like the Pac Cup. This is a fully
managed, turn-key program, overseen by three J World coaches.
You just show up and race...
"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." - MC, after the 2008 Pacific Cup
We meet as a team on
July 5, and our start is on July 8. We expect the race to be
from 9-11 days. Then of course everyone is invited to kick
back in Hawaii and join us for the closing ceremonies at Kaneohe
Yacht Club.
So if you are interested
in the adventure of a lifetime on an exciting boat where everyone
gets to be an active member of the team, this is the perfect
opportunity. And if you are thinking you would like to enter
your own boat in offshore events some day, our coaches will teach
you all the tricks of the trade and help you hit the ground running
(so to speak, of course!).
We are trying to finalize the
team (and want to get you sized for the team gear!), so contact asap!
All the best,
Wayne Zittel and the J
World Team
