Experience: I've sailed and raced for a while

Additional Information: 
I moved up to the PNW to lend a hand on the Tally Ho project about 4 years ago and since then I've been involved in sailing as much as i possibly can.  I can take direction, can pull the hell out of a rope, and can brew coffee or wash up--whatever you need I got it. I am  forever grateful to anyone who will have me, and I always pay back favors.
