We Love to Sail.
And when we sail, we love to sail boats that love to sail.

J/World uses only the best sailing equipment. Yacht design has made significant progress in recent years, making sailboats not only faster, but also much more comfortable, maneuverable, manageable, and infinitely safer.  Don’t suffer through the frustrations of trying to learn on yester-years dinosaurs, boats that are too small (and wet and cold!) or too big (slow to respond to your efforts) or too old (some out-dated cruiser thrown into sailing school service).  After more than two decades of working with students, we know what works.  At J/World, you will sail only contemporary, professionally maintained vessels. Come experience the thrill and pleasure of sailing on boats which sail well.

J/World San Francisco, the Performance Sailing School, is currently instructing on the J-80, J-105, and the J-120, in addition to other quality vessels...  not just J Boats! Keep in mind that while we often teach on J-Boats, we aren't owned by J-Boats and we don't sell J-Boats.  We aren't a broker and you'll never get a sales pitch from us!

The J/80 Sailboat
The 'workhorse' of our San Francisco location is the J/80.  With a huge cockpit and high boom, this 26 foot sportboat is both comfortable and safe.   But make no mistake; this workhorse is pretty light on her feet!  Sporting a versatile sail plan and a spinnaker which can easily be flown by a crew of two, surfing runs across the Bay at 15+ knots provide quite a thrill.  Read more...

The J/105 Sailboat
The 35-foot J/105 is one of the most popular boats on San Francisco Bay for good reason.   Ease of handling, admirable speed, and a wonderfully balanced helm have created a boat which is manageable across a wide range of conditions and great fun to sail.   Loaded with family, friends, or a full racing crew, the J/105 will leave you smiling.  Read More...
 

The J/120 Sailboat
Coastal cruising and passage-making are now easier and more enjoyable than ever before.  The J/120 sailboat brought performance sailing to high seas.  The exceptional performance and construction of the 40-footer earned it the distinction of being selected as Cruising World Magazine's Overall Sailboat of the Year and the Best Value in a full-sized cruising sailboat.
