Like to race sailboats but don’t have a boat?
Register here to become that most valuable person: reliable, able crew. Matching crew and boats is more art than science, but this is an excellent place to start. Offer your contact information, tell us a little about yourself, and when you can crew.
Next step: Mingle.
Don’t wait for the phone to ring; get out and mingle during club meetings, post-race gatherings, or wherever AYC racers are found. Racers are much more likely to call on people they’ve met and know.
What are skippers looking for in crew?
1. Reliability and availability, 2. Good attitude, 3. Skill.
In that order. Even if you’ve never been on a sailboat, if you can handle 1 & 2, you’ll be in demand.
