Looking_to

I am in Boston as a law student at Northeastern, but have lived and sailed on the west coast for my entire life prior to this year. During undergrad at UC Berkeley I was helmsman or tactician on a C&C 37. I worked bow on a Farr 36 in the Big Boat Series (Rolex/Saint Francis Yacht Club hosts this 4 day regatta, and brings some of the fastest sailboats around). I have done a number of offshore races along the California coast, including the coastal cup, which the TP52 class uses as a warmup for trans-pac. I can work any position on any boat, and do it in as competitive or relaxed a program as you have (I enjoy having a fun, relaxed night on the water as much as I like going for the throat... just let me know what you're looking for. I also love to teach whenever it's welcomed).
It's not racing, but to the extent that it helps give an idea of the kind of experience I have on boats, Its good to note that I sailed to Hawaii with my parents and a crew when I was about 6, and that I've been on boats doing trips up an down the west coast (down to mexico as well) for my entire life.

Please let me race with you! I'm going crazy from a lack of heeling over!

I have been sailing for many, many years including bareboat charters in the Caribbean and have owned a Catalina 22 but never raced. I would love the experience and opportunity to learn racing strategies. I work next to North Station and am reliably available for the Wednesday Night races.

I am a 22 year old graduate Student with advanced racing skills at mast and bow. I am regular crew for a NYYC Swan 42 in NYC, which I have been on for the past 3 years, but am living in Boston for the summer and would like to join crew for the weeknight series. Before that, I sailed on a Farr 393. I am also capable at trimming jib and spinnaker and would ideally like to do more of those two positions. However, having grown up sailing, cruising inshore and offshore, lots of one design, IRC, and PHRF around the buoys racing, and some offshore racing, I can pretty much do any position that you need. I am very easy going and a great team player.

Pleasant, reliable, experienced crew looking for a place on Wednesday night races. 7 years experience sailing at Community Boating as well as Boston Sailing Center midrange certification. Have crewed in Boston Sailing Center around the islands race, Boston Harbor Islands Regatta and offshore race in Curacao. New to CYC this year.

I graduated from Boston University in May 2009 and have been working at Brigham and Women's Hospital since. I have been sailing off and on for the last 6-7 years and have had experience sailing (in many roles) on boats ranging from 15' to 40'. I'm hoping to refresh/strengthen my experience on a larger boat both in a competitive and leisure setting.

Beyond working with a crew in a competitive situation, I'd love to work out a deal with a captain where I can assist with boat maintenance, cleaning, etc. for a chance to gain more experience aboard their boat.

Please let me know if there are any opportunities available.

Thanks,

Skilled, fit, easy going, can give as good as I get, middle aged Kiwi looking to race mid-week PHRF and distance races. I am still agile enough to do bow when needed but have spent most of the last decade trimming jib and navigating. With over 3 decades of cruising and racing I have a pretty rounded sailing resume -from simple Optimists right up to an Open 60 and Santa Cruz 52 with a mix of mid-week round the cans, overnight distance races, coastal and offshore deliveries. I am adaptable, know my way around a race boat, keep my head screwed on in tight situations and am a pretty good sea cook as well. After moving from Baltimore (15 years) to the Western Boston suburbs 3 years ago I have been racing Shields mid-week at Beverly Yacht Club and sailing the local islands on my Ericson 35. I am hoping to find a ride a bit closer to home than Buzzards Bay.

I would like to crew for either days sailing or racing right now I'm not working so I am available anytime. I learned how to sail at community boating. I also sailed at Courageous sailing and crewed some racing at Marblehead. Thank you

I am a brand new member. I would like to crew, particularly for day sails or if someone needs someone on a cruising class boat for racing. I love to sail but am not comfortable at the helm...even after many sails and lessons! I am available on weekends and early evening and starting 7/6 I will be available from around one in the afternoon on!

I am an engineer with intermediate racing skills at all positions including spinnaker. Was mainsail trimmer for several seasons on a spinnaker class Tartan 37 including Narragansett Bay Yacht Association race experience. Have also crewed on smaller boats plus skippered dinghies through 38 ft. cruisers. Can make Wed nights available.
