Additional Information:

Many years sailing SF bay. Owned an Ericson 27 in Poulsbo. Raced Wednesday nights at Tacoma (two seasons) where the wind is disappointing. I have almost no spinnaker experience but keen to learn. I’m 65 but most think me healthier than men 10 years younger. In other words, I can grind.

Constantly raced dinghies for 5 years- as both skipper and crew, for both fleet and team racing events. Now I mostly crew aboard keelboats (usually on bow).

I don’t know much at all about sailing but I think it’s neat. I like to think I’m a fast learner and I’m good at following directions. If you need an extra set of hands I would be happy to make myself useful. I moved to the area a couple of years back and now I’m trying to find more ways of connecting with local folks.

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.

Experience: I’ve sailed and raced for a while
Additional Information:

I grew up sailing Blue Jays on the east coast. There were weekly races, but our boat never won. That said, I am nimble and very good at scrambling to follow skipper’s orders.
I’ve also crewed on big ol’ schooners, including Adventuress.
I enjoy the challenges of sailing in windy conditions. No fears about heeling over; I yield to the wisdom and experience of the skipper.
I love to sail, and have lived here far too long with far too few times on the water. I WANT TO BE ON THE WATER again!

I am student at the Wooden Boat School, living in the PT area for the summer. I would like to get regular sailing experience while i am here. I would prefer a laid back crew that is easy to get along with. I have taken the US sailing basic keelboat training on the east coast along with having sailed on multiple friend’s boats of different sizes. I have also volunteered as support staff (placing buoys etc…) for dinghy racing on a small lake.

Experience: A little sailing but no racing
Additional Information:

I grew up sailing with my parents and did some limited racing with my father on several boats. I handled the jib for racing. This was all growing up so I am now refreshing my sailing memory and rebuilding my skills. My most recent sailing experience is over the last year. I took my ASA 101 and ASA 103 the summer of 2022 and sailed with my son out of Shilshole whenever possible. Currently I am sailing a few times a month and would like to crew. My husband and I plan to buy and race our own boat in 2024. (Fun-Beer Can Races) Thank you!
