A Happy New Year Indeed….

Hello everyone… we’ve been quite busy down here in our Puerto Vallarta sailing Paradise over the holiday season, and we hope it was equally enjoyable for all of you. I wanted to take a moment to touch base since we have a whole series of great events coming up…


In January and Februrary we have numerous Learn-to-Sail courses, Performance Cruising classes, and Cruising opportunities. If the winter blues have set in, the wonderfully sunny Banderas Bay – boasting spectacular wildlife, scenery, and (of course) sailing – provides a perfect getaway. Flights are short (a touch over three hours from San Francisco, for example), and there are great room rates this time of year.

The week of February 15 we have a solid racing week taking shape. Come down and sharpen your blade for the 2010 season while all your fleet members are getting rusty!

Saturday February 27th the biennial MEXORC kicks in. This week long racing event is popular amongst the US based boats which race down from California in February, the local boats in PV, and the strong racing fleet in Acapulco. Everyone converges on Banderas Bay for a mix of windward/leeward and distance races. J/World will be racing a J/130 in the event, with three coaches aboard. You can click here for more info if you are interested, but you had better act quickly since we only have one or two spaces left!

Then on March 14 our annual Racing Clinic / Banderas Bay Regatta begins. We host a three day clinic aboard our J/80s, then each boat races in the event with one of our coaches aboard. All the participants rotate thru all the positions aboard, and the 3:1 student to instructor ratio guarantees everyone a lot of personal attention. Click here for more info.
So that’s most of the news for now… but stay tuned as we expect to be making a big announcement in the next week or two! There has been a lot happening at J World, the best Sailing School in America, about which we are truly excited…
So take a break and come get your sailing fix…
