JOG is a yacht club with a difference and steeped in history. Established in 1950 to enable smaller yachts to compete offshore, it organises highly competitive races for IRC rated yachts. Our vibrant yacht club prides itself on its inclusivity and providing organised, competitive yacht racing ensuring long-lasting broad appeal.
JOG runs a full programme every season grouped into an inshore and offshore series. Competitors expect to enjoy a high standard of racing using internationally recognised racing standards. We're a community that shares unique yacht racing experiences and emphasise the social aspect of JOG. We regularly host events and parties after races at ports throughout the evening that deliver live music, exquisite food and reflect on the day's competition.

New Season, new classes and JOG evolution
The AGM and Dinner Dance brought the Captain’s announcement for some changes to our racing next year. The aim is to align fleet numbers in each class so that we have more competitive groupings, particularly for our offshore racing. We have also decided to re-brand our, now rather historically organised, classes to a more understandable and conventional 1/2/3! When JOG was formed our original class structure followed naturally from the classes in place with other clubs but are not so appropriate today! You will need to buy new class flags before the start of next season. Something for the Christmas list!
The new class bands for 2020 will be:
Class 1: 1.01 to 1.2
Class 2: .970 to 1.009
Class 3: 0 to .0969
MyJOG has been updated to reflect these changes, you can view your new class by looking at your boat details.
We have also decided to drop the use of most of the flags at race starts. The red and green flags, postponement and extended line flag will continue to be used but as it is apparent that on board timing systems are the main point of reference, we can save a pair of hands in the race box by making these changes. VHF announcements will, of course, be used where appropriate and all the changes will be in the Sailing Instructions next year.
The Captain, Flag Officers, Committee and Secretary wish you all a great Christmas and New Year and are looking forward to the new season.
