Hello the south of England !

I have been sailing for the past 4 or 5 years, most of the time around
the cans (the cans as organised by the Dublin Bay Sailing Club) in 30
to 40ft cruisers, with a number of offshore races, the last one was the
Round Ireland.  I'm based in Basingstoke, so if there is any one on
the south coast looking or knows of anyone looking for crew, drop me a
line 

Thanks 
     Jonathan
    

    
    Hello
    
    	I have raced for several years in races organised by J.O.G.
    	These are mainly short offshore races ( about 24 hours ) for
    	I.O.R. and Channel Handicap yachts up to about 40' LOA,usually
    	to France or the Channel Isles, starting on Friday evenings.
    
    	The secretary of J.O.G. maintains a Crew list for people wanting
    	a sail and he circulates this to the Skippers with the race
    	details.
    
    	If you are interested, His name is Brian Goulder and he can
    	be contacted on Cowes (0983) 291572.
    
        Good Luck

I am interested in crewing, regularly or intermittently, for a 
safety conscious skipper.  I will consider both day sailing and week-end 
coastal cruising.  I would be more than happy to share in maintenance 
tasks or expense in return for above.

My experience, thus far, is 2 sailing course taken at Watergate 
Sailing Center, Kemah Texas, and at the Boston Harbor Sailing Club.  I 
have crewed a number of times on Pearson's and Solings.

Looking forward to hearing from interested parties.

    Hi,  I would also like to crew.  However, I must admit I am slightly
    less experienced. (read : None at all, other than a sunfish/ phantom
    on lakes).  If anyone is interested in taking on a rank beginner,
    please call me.  I live in leominster, ma & work in APO.

    I have a friend who lives in Mass and is interested in a crew position

    Looking for someone to Crew???????
    
    
    I have had two year experience crewing for some boats in Colorado
    and New England.  I have some vacation time saved and am looking
    to crew for someone who wants to travel.  I am looking to travel
    some where out of the US.  If you a looking for someone or know
    someone who needs a person, send mail or call

    "Boat Died, Need Ride"  X-owner/operator 7-yrs Off-Shore and
    Round-the-Buoy Racing.  Competent, Reliable, and Sense of Humor.  

    Interest in more Cruising and less Racing...Ho-hum maybe some!

    My name is Jeff Johnsen. I have been sailing my Hobie 16 for 3 years
    now and love every minute of it. In the next year or so I plan to
    buy a cruiser (25'-30'). I would love to gain some experience on
    bigger boats. I'm mainly looking for day trips, or weekend trips.
    But I could be available for up to a week.
    
    I'm a strong 6' 3'' 210lbs. and my basic seamanship is good.
    
    Please leave a reply if interested.

    My name is Steve Kennedy and I'd be available to crew for anyone willing
    to help a new sailor (whose caught the sailing bug big-time) learn some
    of the ropes.

    I am very new to sailing larger boats (I've been sailing small boats,
    mostly sunnies and the like, since I was very young) and I am _very_
    interested in gaining more experience this season on larger boats.  As
    green as I am, my current plans are to try to gain as much experience as
    possible the next 1-2 seasons with larger boats (also finding out what I
    like and dislike), with a goal of buying a boat in 2-3 years.

    I think I will primarily be interested in cruising, but having never
    raced and I would like to give that a shot if someone is willing to take
    on inexperienced (but willing and eager) racing crew.

    Other than a handful of day trips as a deck lizard, my experience on
    larger boats thus far has been limited to 

    	1) a 3-day bareboating course (taught primarily on a 33' Pearson),
    	   after which I 

    	2) chartered a 26' Pearson out of Bar Harbor for two days (I
           sailed from Bar Harbor around to the south side of the island
           one day and back the next - too beautiful for words!)

    My availability will mainly depend on the time and current situation,
    but in general I'll consider and will probably be available almost
    anytime on a regular basis or at the spur-of-the-moment for evenings,
    days, weekends, and maybe even weeks (I could be available for up to 3-4
    weeks toward the latter part of the summer or early fall - lots of
    vacation saved up).  I live in Hudson, MA and traveling a few hours is
    not at all a problem.

    If you are interested please leave a reply or feel free to contact me
    directly via mail or phone (dtn 296-5588).

    thanks,

    I would like to add myself to this list of available crew.  My name
    is Dennis Ahern.  I work at MKO1 and live in Acton, Mass.  I've
    been sailing since around 1960, mostly in small boats, occasionally
    cruising with friends.

    Originally, I learned to sail at Community Boating on the Charles
    River in Boston, where I also worked as a volunteer sailing instructor
    for blind students from the Perkins School in Watertown.  
    
    Later I owned a 12' Firefly sloop which I raced every Saturday and
    Sunday at the Sandy Bay Yacht Club in Rockport, Mass.  I also went
    cruising along the Coast of Maine, living aboard this 12 footer and
    sleeping in a hammock that stretched from the transom to the mast.
    Except for where my rear end rested on the centerboard trunk, this was
    not all that uncomfortable. 

    Having a trailerable boat, I was also able to explore along Cape
    Cod, the Connecticut shore, and the Chesapeake Bay.  As part of
    our honeymoon I took my wife and our two cats and sailed out to
    an uninhabited island in Maine and camped for a week.  Neither my
    wife, nor the cats, turned out to be enthusiastic sailors and this
    eventually led to my selling the boat.
    
    Since then I have been dependent on the kindness of strangers (and
    friends) who have need of an experienced crew.  I've been cruising
    on sloop-rigged keel boats in the 26-34' range in the following
    waters: Buzzards Bay to Cape Ann, Camden to Bar Harbor, Boothbay
    to Casco Bay, Fisher's Island Sound, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard

    In addition to my seamanship and navigational skills, I play the
    concertina and have my own sneakers.  I can be reached at DTN 264-1941.
    

    I have a keen interest in becoming a member of a racing crew.  I
    am not looking for any particular role; any available spot
    on the crew would be great.  Unfortunately, however, I have 
    no racing experience and very little sailing experience. 
    My parents just purchased a C&C 41 so I have just entered the sailing
    world.  I am very competitive and love to sail so I think racing
    would be a great thrill.
    
    I am somewhat restricted to the Narragansett Bay area but might
    occasionally make a road trip if necessary.  Because I am a college
    student who must raise as much money as possible this summer, I will
    be available only on weekends with possibly an exception once and a
    while. 
    
    If you need anyone or just want another body on board for ballast,
    contact Don at CADM::STEUL or DTN 287-3151 (work) or 617-456-3084
    (home).

    Hi,
    
    If you need another crew member send me mail or call 297-2033. 
    The area is any point from Marbelhead to Newport.  I've been sailing
    for about 4 years, mostly in dinghies and catamarans, and 24' cruisers.
    Can crew most weekends.
    
    
    Thanks, Bill

    Hi !  I'd like to crew with people who are a little competitive
    but not so competitive that there's no fun left.  I'm looking to
    crew with people who sail out of either the Boston, Mass. area or
    near Burlington, Vermont on lake Champlain.  My preference is Lake
    Champlain since I own a house in Stowe, Vermont, but I'm flexible.
    I grew up in Marion, Mass. and would be willing to sail near the
    Cape.  For the past several years, I have crewed on a sport fisherman
    33' because I like to fish, but I'm looking for quieter boating
    now and love to sail also. 
    
    Would love to hear from anyone who wants me as crew member.

    Hi! I would like to crew with people sailing out of the Boston
    vicinity from points both north and south. My experience in 
    racing has been in racing the dinghy boats on the Charles river.
    As far as my sailing experience goes, I have been sailing for 
    four years now dinghies, lasers and sailboards. Occasionally I 
    have crewed with a friend on his 32 footer off Salem. 
    I am interested if you are interested. So let me know. 
    
    Ram Kumar at dtn 297 6738 or send mail to Keeper::kumar 
    
     

    
    	I am interested in crewing occasionally (every 2-3 weeks) on boats 
    sailing out of Marblehead or, potentially, Buzzards Bay.
    
    	I have raced off and on for 20 years in boats ranging from dinghies
    to IOR 3/4 Tonners.  Most recently, I sailed during parts of two
    seasons on J-24's out of Annapolis.
    
    	I am most interested in sailing on a J-24 or a similar modern
    one design keelboat.
    
    	Please send me electronic mail or call me. (DTN 223-5523).
    
    Jim Shaughnessy
    

     I'd like to hear about new opportunities for crewing in Wednesday
     nights races out of Marblehead.

     I've crewed on a competitive Class D boat in this series for the
     last 5 seasons.  The skipper is a new father, and may not be
     campaigning the boat this season.

     I'm also a semi-regular with a top boat in the weekend Marblehead
     fleet (Vigilante, Class C).

     If you race on a regular basis or know of someone who does and
     needs an extra hand, please contact me via Mail (MEIS::WALKER).

    I am interested in sailing, either racing or cruising.  I have been 
    sailing since I was 10, for the past 13 years.  I am originally from 
    Long Island and began racing on Blue Jays, Fireballs, and my family 
    had an Ensign we raced every weekend.(22ft)  I also have some
    experience on larger boats Pearson 30, 10M etc.  
    I currectly live in Boston and would love the oportunity to race or
    cruise on the weekends for someone who is competitive but FUN.
    I am not really familiar with all the different areas to sail around
    here, but would be willing to travel.

    I am looking to crew.  I normally crew on a 29' Bristol (for 5
    years now), sailed a 14' daysailer in Camden in the late sixties
    and early 70's and have crewed on up to a 51 footer in the
    Caribean.  Today is my last day as a contract writer/editor
    at Digital.  After today, I can be reached at (617)491-7398
    in Harvard Square.  I've mostly sailed out of Falmouth Foresides
    in ME, up almost to Bar Harbor on long cruises.  I've sailed out
    of Chatham a few times as well, on another Bristol.  I might
    even be available for sailing during the week; but in general,
    am free at least every other weekend for a day sail on Sunday or
    a weekend cruise if I plan ahead.
    
    Love to meet other sailors.  My other love is painting.

    I went to the Boston Sailboat Show last week (Feb 9) and learned of a
    sailing club that links skippers and crew.  Called the Pelagic Sailing
    Club it enrolls people with boats looking for crew with people without
    boats looking for opportunities to sail.  The club is located in WEst
    Newton, Box 153, ZIP 02165, phone 617 729 1716 and was founded in 1967. 
    It is a non-profit organization and annual memebership is $50.  The
    club owner told me that 1/3 of the members were skippers and 2/3 crew. 
    Boats are located all over Maine, Mass, NH, and RI.  Primary focus of
    the club is cruising with most boats in the 30-40 foot league.
    
    This club might be the answer for those looking for opportunities to
    crew either day sails or longer cruises.

Just thought I would put this in here in case I am unable to later.
My home phone is at the end.

I'd like to crew on a 30'-and-up boat this summer for daysails, overnight and 
extended trips. Home ports between the Merrimack and the Naragansett Bay 
area would be ideal in terms of a drive to either after work or on weekends.
I'd be very interested in getting on a racing team. 

My experience consists of cruising the Naragansett Bay area, 
several week-long trips to the North Fork of Long Island and as far 
West as New London, and quite a few trips to Block Island. I've also 
completed several Coast Guard Auxiliary courses. I've owned a
Bristol 27 for the last 7 years.

Finding dependable crew is always difficult. If I make a commitment to 
crew with you either on a particular weekend or an entire season of 
weeknight racing, you can count on me to be there. Helping out with 
maintainance work and/or some minor expenses would not be a problem.

If you or someone you know is in need of a reliable, safety-oriented
crewmember, please pass the following information on to them. I can be 
reached at home at 508-692-9722, at work by EMAIL or DTN 264-2023.

    Once again I am interested in doing the Marion-Bermuda race.  If
    anyone is going and needs crew I would like to be considered.  If
    anyone in SAILING knows of folks going and may need crew, leads and
    introductions would be greatly appreciated.  
    
    If anyone is in need of having boats delivered or crew going offshore,
    I can be available for those types of opportunities as well.
