Strickly Sail Chicago 2012

J World is "The Performance Sailing School".  This means we guarantee that regardless of your present skill level or the type of boat you prefer, your training at J World will improve your performance as a sailor.  Attending J World will teach you more about sailing than any other sailing school in the country.

 

A School for all Skill Levels!

We offer courses for people brand new to sailing as well as more experienced sailors looking to refine their skills!  Each year more men, women and children from age 15 to 70 become captivated with sailing.  Whether you're a beginning sailor or a racer seeking to improve your fleet standings, J World has a course to meet your goals.  Everyone at J World is a sailor; from the teaching staff to the office staff.  Your first telephone contact with J World will be with an individual who is experienced in discussing sailing and your sailing plans.

JWorld's Teaching Method

J World has been named "The Best" sailing school in America for good reason: the qualifications of our instructors, beautiful locations, and the proven strength of our teaching method.  Our curriculum and the capabilities of our instructors is world renowned.  Since J World's founding, our courses have been consistently updated and improved.  Our students benefit from the sailing experience of our instructors and their expertise in teaching the latest sailing techniques.

Our Coaches

At J World each instructor trainee spends an extensive period as a "student".  Our staff development program sharpens the trainee's observational and listening skills, while educating them to J World's teaching method.  Boundless sailing experience is only one of the strengths necessary to be accepted into the J World instructor training program.  The ability to teach as well as a passion for sharing the joy of sailing is a prerequisite for all J World instructors.

More Hours on the Water Everyday

You will learn more in one session at J World than you would in a full season of trial and error sailing.  At many schools you'll spend half your time or more in a classroom. At J World, you'll be on the water sailing most of each day!  No sailing school spends more course time on the water than J World.  We are committed to teaching students who are dedicated to mastering sailing.
