The club has a great social environment, with friendly and helpful members. The club facility has a cottage like atmosphere. There are few issues to mention though. I became a member last summer and joined the White Sail Clinic to learn sailing. After a week of course, I failed with some other members. I was told, I can only sail as a crew with a qualified member. As a new member , it was not east to find a qualified member to sail with and I could not sail as many as I wanted to. The contradiction is; club is accepting you as a member with the full payment of the membership, but after one week, telling you that you can only sail with a qualified member. The Clinic has to be done pre-requisite to membership and only who qualify can become a member. This way, people will not waste their membership. I recommend to learn sailing somewhere else and then become a member at J-Town.
I had an Ear infection after falling down from the boat at the dock during the Clinic. If you happen to fall down from the boat make sure to take prevention as it takes around 10 days for bacteria to infect your ear. I suffered for 3 months and first day pain was immense. The still water of the artificial bay in front of the club causes bacteria to grow easier.
