Are you a college student, or a recent graduate, who loves to sail but just doesn't have the financial resources to purchase a keelboat of your own? If so, the J/22 Scholarship Boat Program may be the perfect opportunity for you!
The J/22 Class Association is collaborating with the Buffalo Yacht Club to provide one scholarship recipient with a fully outfitted J/22 sailboat, and trailer, for the 2015 season (from June 1 to October 15). The boat will be yours for the entire season! All you need to do is race it competitively (in as many events as you are able) and provide the boat with some TLC.
We are hopeful this program will inspire competitive sailors to race the J/22 and see why it has become one of the world's most loved keelboats.
How Do I Apply? If you are between the ages of 19-29 and can pull together a racing team, all you need to do is submit an application to the J/22 Class Office by May 15. See the details below and get the process started.
