J-World Teaching Method - J-World has been named "the Best Sailing School in America" for 20+ years for good reason: the qualifications of their instructors, beautiful locations, and the proven strength of their teaching methods.

The students benefit from the sailing experience of their instructors and their expertise in teaching the latest sailing techniques.

Teaching The Teachers -  At J/World each instructor trainee spends an extensive period as a "student". The staff development program sharpens the trainee's observational and listening skills while educating them to J/World's teaching method. Boundless sailing experience is only one of the strengths necessary to be accepted into the J/World instructor training program. The ability to teach as well as a passion for sharing the joy of sailing is prerequisite for all J/World instructors.

Six Hours on the Water Every Day - You will learn more in one session at J/World than you would in a full season of trial and error sailing. No sailing school spends more course time on the water than J/World and there are no half-day courses, only a commitment to teaching students who are dedicated to mastering sailing.

The J-World Sailing Fleet - J/World makes use of the J/24, J/80, J/105 and J/120 as their sailboats for teaching you the important concept of "sailboat feel". When you make a sail adjustment you can see and feel the changes in the way the boat moves through the water-- an incredibly important element of learning how to sail well. If the boat you're learning on cannot "talk" back to you, then you are being denied a vital learning tool. At J/World, all students are taught to "listen" and "feel" the boat.
