<title>The Sailing Codex</title>
![ ](j80.jpg width=400 attriburl="https://jboats.com/j80" attrib="J Boats") Welcome to the Sailing Codex! I wrote these sailing notes for myself and my crew on topics relevant to coastal cruising, day sailing, and dinghy racing.

The regional regulations and jargon referenced tend to focus on the US and Canada, where I sail most often.

As of February 2025, I'm regularly updating these notes but have no particular release schedule. Note the disclaimer on the bottom of each page.
