Your premier J/Boats dealer in the Southwest

J/Boats Southwest

Our mission at J/Boats Southwest is to find the perfect boat for you to accomplish your sailing dreams. There is no other sport that generates the passion sailors have for being out on the water with friends and family, enjoying the magic of the wind, that being on a wind-powered boat provides. We believe sailing brings the thrill of an adrenaline rush, healthy competition, moments of relaxation, and a connection with nature. Young, or young-at-heart, we want to help you reach your goals and deepen your yearning to be on the water.

Sailing is the ultimate freedom, the experience of being at one with nature and the sea, powered only by the wind and one's imagination. Sailing is one of the few "life sports" that offers both a relaxing escape as well as an invigorating challenge. You pick your own level of comfort and adventure.

# J/Fest Southwest Using Yacht Scoring

This year J/Fest Southwest is using Yacht Scoring to manage [registration](https://yachtscoring.com/event_registration_email.cfm?eid=13049), online purchases, crew waivers and scoring.  A few things you need to know.  You will establish an email address (username) and password and all your data will be kept in the Yacht Scoring database so you only need to enter once for all future regattas in their system.  The layout is quite different and there are many fields, but not too many more than before.  The skipper is responsible for entering boat info, handicap rating, crew names, and emails. It is a little more work the first time you register, but it will pay off at the event as your registration will be complete and provide you with more time to socialize! 

# Seabrook, Texas
Enjoy the small town waterfront of Seabrook, Texas just minutes from the bustle of Houston, the relaxing waters of Galveston Bay, the Kemah Boardwalk, shopping, and many more attractions!
