Note: The 2 nights with the J-22 instruction are part of the Jackrabbit regatta. The J-22 fleet would like to invite all the club members to attend and share the knowledge of these fine presenters. Each night will begin with live demonstrations using J-22's tied to the dock. The presenters will then critique the J-22's on the water. You will be free to ask related questions while the dockside instruction is going on. I am sure the sail makers will address special concerns afterwards, because that is what they do.
