Competitive J22 Boathandling

Competitive J22 Boathandling focuses on the International J/22, a competitive and highly tactical club racer and international standard for competition. The J/22 is raced by teams of three or four persons in fleets around the world. This jib, main and spinnaker boat has proven effective in international match racing, team racing and fleet racing events.

This video CD-ROM covers in detail the essential techniques used in tacking the boat and incorporating windward sheeting, setting the spinnaker with preparation for the first tactical move, gibing with full use of crew kinetics, dousing the spinnaker under control, and the organization and job distribution necessary for the four-person crew structure.

Chapters include: Tacking, Gybing, Sets, Douses and Four-person setup

Additional specific footage is available through the CD-ROM's web-portal to be streamed and updated online.

Narrated by Will Crump.
