Liz-Thanks for posting!  we do need donor J/22's!  JWorld Annapolis is fully insured and there will be an instructor on each and every boat.  Last year at Austin the J/80 fleet hooked them up with J/80's and the worst that happened is a winch went over board and J/World immediately replaced it.

J/World asks that you remove any personal items and put up an average suite of sails.  They do like to have a compass on board.  It's especially nice if the boat is rigged and ready to go on the monday before the event.

Nothing but high praise for this training!  And it's open to everyone!  not just J/22 or J/boat sailors.

Nice chance to get some great coaching.  I have attended their racing clinic in Key West and it is well worth the time.  It is really beneficial of you can get your whole crew to attend - they might even give you a break on cost!
