What we are training on

J/70 One-Design

The J/70 is a modern one-design sportsboat created specifically for close racing and high-intensity training. Light, responsive and perfectly balanced, it reacts to every trim and crew movement — ideal for learning real race skills.

On board the J/70, you’ll work on upwind speed, downwind control with the gennaker, mark roundings and smooth crew coordination. The boat forgives little — which makes every training session clear, honest and very effective.

FAQ

Is J/70 training suitable if I’ve never sailed before? ⌄
Yes. We begin with safety, basic theory on shore and simple maneuvers on the water. The J/70 reacts quickly, so progress is very clear — after one or two sessions you’ll already feel confident in basic crew roles.
How many people are on board during training? ⌄
Usually 3–5 sailors plus the coach. That’s enough to cover all positions and still keep time for individual feedback. For team requests we can organise a closed session for your full crew.
Can we prepare for a specific regatta on J/70? ⌄
Yes. We can build a program around your target event: starts, mark roundings, boat speed, communication and race strategy — with debriefs and video analysis where possible.
