CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Don t be surprised to see dozens of sailboats in Corpus Christi Bay this week.
The J22 World Championships run from Tuesday until Friday based out of the Corpus Christi Yacht Club. The competition s name comes from the 22-foot boats that will be participating.
There are 42 such boats in the event from 14 states with three to four crew members per boat. Many of them have supporters with them like friends and family. Every time we do one of these, it brings a lot of people in town, Regatta Chairman Brad Stokes said. They stay in our hotels. They eat in our restaurants. Itâs like getting a nice big convention each time.
J/22 World Sailing Championship begins Monday at Corpus Christi Yacht Club
