2021 Newport to Cabo Race Report
J World Sailing

Well well well, after a couple mild Cabo Races, it seems the 2021 event was ready for a change, maybe a bit pent up after 2020? From the outset, the forecast called for pretty solid wind.  The start had all the ORR fleets on one line together, so it was an interesting exercise with boats ranging from 40 to 100 feet in length jockeying for position!  Our J/World team got a clean start near the boat end of the line, then headed south on a close-hauled course, trying to work away from the coast and out towards the breeze at sea.  By mid to late afternoon, we had gotten to the wind ..read more

With more people than ever looking to escape the complications of modern life by heading out to sea, our cruising courses in California and Mexico have never been more popular.  Instructor Paul put together a gallery of some of his adventures with students, most of them in Mexico, but I spotted some California shots in there.  There are a lot of pictures.  “Said Paul: “I got a bit carried away!” That’s ok, we understand.  We enjoyed his shots and thought you might too. Ready for an adventure of your own?                   ..read more

Good Times…. SD to PV Race 2020

Ok, I have to say we’ve been pretty bad about posting updates.  But sitting here locked down found me actually starting to organize the photo folders on my computer (yes, it’s come to that!) and I realized that a report on our SD-PV race is long overdue. The 2020 race was a largely light air event so maybe I was trying to block out some of the massive parking lots we found ourselves in (my therapist says I’m making great progress).  Or maybe since we rolled into the MEXORC regatta literally hours after finishing, I never had the time to mentally digest everything. And we were at sea ..read more

3y ago
We have just had a couple of cancellations in the 2019 Transpac aboard our J/World boats.  All three of our entries have been sold out for well over a year, so this is a rare opportunity to join the 50th running of this iconic race.  Our teams a re comprised of six sailors each supported by three coaches per boat.  Everyone is a fully engaged, active member of the team.  Every one of our boats is a blast to sail:  DK46, turboed Santa Cruz 50, and a Santa Cruz 52.  J/World has run programs in the past twelve races from CA to HI and has a proven record, including po ..read more

Wow, what a year it was!  Thanks so much to all our supporters for a fantastic 2018.  We raced to Puerto Vallarta, Bermuda, Hawaii, and along the California Coast.  We cruised to Baja, Cabo, Hawaii, the Channel Islands, and Newport RI.  We rounded innumerable buoys, dropped thousands of feet of anchor rode (and had to pull it all back up!), all while introducing hundreds of sailors to the sport we love! Thank you all, and we hope to see you again (or for the first time) in 2019! Wayne Zittel & the J/World Team   The post Happy Holidays and Thank You from J/World ..read more

2018 Newport to Bermuda Race Report
J World Sailing
by jworld
3y ago
Well the 2018 Newport to Bermuda Race is all wrapped up!  It was a challenging year, with a lot of light breeze and some periods of slow going, but we had an excellent time.  Team J/World boasted a full team of our alumni from other offshore events and was backed up by coaches Paul, Patrick, and Wayne. The mighty Westerly, a sweet Santa Cruz 52, provided a comfortable and fast platform.  While we were one of the leading pack into Bermuda and thought we were doing pretty well (tracker had us in second), the late filling breeze brought up the competition from behind and ..read more
