Southwest Airlines' SPIRIT Promotes SAILING J/80s!

J/80 one-design sailboat- flying with Southwest Airlines SPIRIT magazine* Southwest Airlines SPIRIT Magazine- November 2011. This holiday season (and in 2012), get off the couch and get out into the world. Rather than must-have toys and tech gear, SPIRIT Magazine handpicked 32 action-filled trips that take you from the snow-covered peaks of Park City, Utah, to the tale-tinged pubs of New York City, to the gorgeous water of San Francisco Bay. Ready, set, wish!

Check it out!  SPIRIT picked Orange Coast Sailing Club's J/80 to be on the cover seen here!  Here's the blurb below inside the SPIRIT Magazine as the FIRST activity you should pick-- go sailing!!

SAILING- SCALE THE BAY!
Berkeley, California-based OCSC Sailing provides all manner of maritime education, but its Basic Keelboat class is ideal for windjammer wannabes without a clue. Master the sport over five days or two consecutive weekends. On Day One you’ll be at the helm of a 24-footer; by the next afternoon you’ll be commanding your crew to "Jibe ho"! The fog lifts from the San Francisco Bay in the winter months, making it an apt time to test the waters, which will host the 34th annual America’s Cup catamaran race in 2013. $995; go to http://www.ocsc.com  See SPIRIT Mags article on Sailing Experience Gifts- cool stuff!
