Bring your own boat, or will they be provided?
J/22, J/24, J/80, J/105???  What boat / crew is the course designed for?  Symetrical or Asym?
Having been to J World, the courses and instructors are geared for a specific boat / crew (usually J/80s and asymetricals).  They used to use J/24s, but have moved more toward J/80s in recent years.

Great school and talented instructors.

They are using 3-4 J/80's from the Austin fleet.  We might also add an evening speaker to discuss sailing at the highest level.  Should be a fun 4 days of classes.

Space is limited to 12 people (3 boats) or 16 people (4 boats).  There will be one instructor per boat.

Sign on up!
