Performance Sailing School

J/World Performance Sailing is the preeminent source for sailing skills development and yachting activities. We are professional sailors with enthusiasm for sailing and oceanic adventures. Since our founding in 1981, we have put our expertise and knowledge to work teaching tens of thousands of sailors from around the world how to sail, and how to be better sailors. From first time mariners to seasoned salts, we have programs designed to challenge and educate you.

Performance sailing is all about understanding the way boats (and sails) work.  It is about sailing better, safer, easier, more comfortably, and yes, faster.  If you sail a heavy displacement cruiser, a light daysailer, or a modern raceboat we can help you understand the dynamics at work to have a more enjoyable time on the water.  Confidence through competence.
