1222.0. "J Boat Racing / Magazine?" by DPDMAI::PLATTER (Ben Platter @DLO) Fri May 26 1989 13:26

    Is anyone out there have a J-Boat, and/or participate in racing J-22,
    J-24's etc?  (A DIR /TITLE= did not produce any results.)
    
    As a sailor and photographer I'll be attending a large J-24 regatta
    this week-end at Rush Creek Yacht Club in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. 
    I'm told that this is THE important qualifying race before the J-24
    Nationals, so the top competitors will be out in full force.  With the
    sunny weather and strond winds it should be a great photo opportunity.
    
    I would like to get the address of any sailing magazine(s) dedicated to
    J-Boats, or other sailboat racing of similar size and class.  I remember 
    the name J WORLD, but cannot find an address or even an old copy.
    
    Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance . . .

    The J-24 class magazine comes out twice a year. It's filled with
    race anoucements, advertisements, rule changes, and a little bit
    of good info on how to make your boat faster. For $30/yr you can
    join the class, get two magazines, and race your boat if you own one. 
    Or you can pay $8 for a back issue. You can reach them by phone
    at (407) 773-4141.
