Sportboat Fleet

J/80

Do you want to have an exciting day blasting around the Bay with speed and smiles? The J/80 Sky in our Berkeley Sportboat Fleet is for you!

Longer, narrower, and lighter than a J/24, the J/80 is 26 feet long with a beam of just over 8 feet, and weighs only 2,900 pounds.

The jib is on a rolling furler - no hanks! This makes for quick rigging at the beginning of the day and an easy furl-up at the end of the day.

The J/80 has a larger cockpit than the J/24, but can be equally as wet. Dress appropriately!

The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.

The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

I've taken two classes at MSS&C and was very happy with the program. This is also a great club with lots of opportunities for camaraderie and practice on the water. The boats in the fleet are fantastic and kept in tip-top shape. I highly recommend for all sailors and would-be sailors!

I would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way.
