Crew and Skippers List
GO Sailing! Event
Get on the phone and GO Sailing !
With spring so early this year, most of us are eager to get out on the water. A sign of this is the largest number of Crew List participants we have ever had. Here they are — anxious to crew or to skipper with new acquaintances. Many of you cannot wait to get hold of it - we know, we’ve taken your phone calls.
With every crew list we remind our readers that we cannot and do not qualify any of the people on the list. A number of male skippers are looking for female crew. On a Hobie or a Prindle, that may be legitimate, as women are usually lighter and crew weight on a catamaran is critical. For a bluewater cruiser, weight is an insignificant problem. In any case, use a little caution and don’t get yourself (male or female) into an unpleasant situation. Get to know each other on dry land, go out for at least a few day sails and a shakedown cruise before sailing off over the horizon.
Don’t worry if the first couple of people you talk to don’t seem right for you. The list doesn’t allow any room for either skippers or crew to give any details. Many forms arrive with every item checked. That may mean they’ve been sailing a few times and want to learn. Many skippers we’ve talked to have said they’re more than willing to teach an enthusiastic novice, many of whom turn out to be great crew. Some skippers even prefer working with a novice because as one said, “I can teach them the way I prefer to have things done without having to ‘unteach’ them first.”
We’ve tried to keep the crew list simple, but there are a lot of categories. The key to the codes appear in the boxes near each section. The list is arranged in three sections - Crew Wants to Cruise, Crew Wants to Race, Skipper Wants Cruising or Racing Crew. Look through the appropriate list and start dialing your phone.
Those of you who missed the deadline can also use the list. Sure, we would have liked you to get your listing in on time, but you can certainly make a few phone calls.
For all the exciting sailing events this summer check out the callendar. There are events coming up for the weekend sailor, evening sailor, or sailing enthusiast. Don’t miss a moment!
