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!
