J World Introduction
J World is known as "The Performance Sailing School." Regardless of
your present skill level or the type of boat you prefer, your training at J
World will improve your performance as a sailor. Attending J World will
teach you more about sailing than any other sailing school in the country.
The Racing and Cruising School
Since 1981, J World has taught over 30,000 people how to sail. And,
each year more men, women and children from age 12 to 70 become captivated
with sailing. Whether you're a beginning sailor or a racer seeking to
improve your sailing performance, J World has a course to meet your goals.
Current locations for J World's Sailing Schools include Annapolis, MD; Key
West, FL; Newport, RI; San Diego, CA; and San Francisco, CA.
Planning Your Sail Training
Everyone at J World is a sailor; from the teaching staff to the office
staff. When you contact J World, you will be in contact with an individual
who is experienced in discussing sailing and your sailing plans.
J World's 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 curriculum
and the capabilities of the instructors is world renowned. Since J World's
founding, the sailing, cruising and racing courses have been consistently
updated and improved. 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.
