J/World, the
Performance Sailing School, is entering our J/120 in the 2009
Transpac, the race from Los Angeles to Hawaii held every two years. We will be
competing with a team comprised of
six amateurs and two of our world-class, professional coaches. Each
individual will be an active and equal member of the team, and everyone
aboard gets to take turns at doing everything, including
driving. The environment will be fun, positive, and
conducive to learning... and we'll of course work hard to
achieve a great finish!
Students may be of various
ability levels, from experienced offshore racers who enjoy the
notion of joining a ‘turn-key’ program, to sailors who are looking
to expand their horizons and learn more about offshore racing. The program
will include practice sessions prior to the race, all the onboard
provisioning, team gear, entry fees, port fees, and delivery
fees.
Individuals interested in participating are
encouraged to contact us at 800-910-1101 or
info@sailing-jworld.com for details. We'll be happy to
tell you more about the program and email you the Team Brief.
The 2008 Pacific Cup sold out five months before the event and
we've already started signups for the Transpac, so make your
plans now!
