Hello! I realize that it’s a bit early to be thinking about sailing next summer, but I am hoping to contact skippers who are in need of crew members for cruising and/or racing during July and August 2009. My plan is to spend most of my summer aboard in order to gain some coastal sailing experience and to hone my skills. I would like to do this by volunteering myself as a crew member for anybody who could use a hand on deck in the Vancouver / Strait of Georgia region. I have a lot of small boat sailing experience (Pirateer and Hobie 16) and some coastal keelboat experience including my CYA Basic Cruising Standard which I earned last summer aboard Glen MacKenzie’s 42’ sloop Kinohi out of North Vancouver (Mosquito Creek). I hope to purchase my own boat in 2010.
If you could use a hand yourself or direct me toward interested skippers I would be very appreciative.
I am not looking for any pay or compensation, just the experience and miles under the keel.
