I did the advanced race seminar there in March 2006. J World gave me a list of places to stay. The Cypress House Bed & Breakfast is within walking distance of the J World school and was very reasonable. Contact info is available at the link. They had a happy hour there every day with quite an assortment of drinks and food. Some of the J World instructors would crash that. If you haven't been to Key West before, stand by for the "cultural enhancement".

Do you know if J/Boats will have a booth (or equiv) in KeyWest during sail week? What, if any, could I dream of picking up for my J30? Would there be a chance for used sails? electronic toys? Do any other boats have compatable sails? With two weeks to go I am getting very phsyched Taras

Taras - I personally prefer that method, and want my foredeck to use it because it minimizes people going forward and doesn't require multiple people to adjust topping lift and foreguy before the set.
However - If I have someone who is used to the traditional method, and doesn't like the J World approach, I'll defer to the FU on the front end of the boat and just stay back in Fantasyland at the helm. Those experienced on my crew know just to tell me to shut-up and drive....
Matt's good people - many years ago he crewed on Rhapsody. He was at J World when I took the course both in Newport and Key West.
ps - where did you end up partying ( I mean staying....)
