1870.0. "need Boston daysailing crew" by LEDS::HUNT (Larry Hunt) Mon May 18 1992 16:46


Once again this season (May - Oct), I'll occasionally be needing crew for 
daysailing on Boston Harbor.  I'd like to get a list of some potential crew 
that I can call at times.  

It would be sailing on weekends.  I sail Solings out of the Boston Harbor 
Sailing Club.  The boat is a 27' olympic class keel boat which draws 4.5 ft.  
Freeboard is about 2 ft.  Be forewarned, these boats have no motor and no head. 
It can also be a wet sail depending on conditions.  It's still a lot of fun in 
spite of the above.  The boat carries a main, a jib and a spinnaker (if you've 
got experience flying a chute, we can take it too).  I usually head out about 
11:00 am and return about 5:00.

If your interested, send me some mail.  Include your availability and a BRIEF
description on your sailing experience just to give me a general idea as
to what your experience is.  Then maybe we can hook up for a sail at some
point during the summer.

I sometimes need crew on short notice as well (like the night before or because
of a last minute crew cancellation).  If you would be interested on short 
notice, and want to include your home phone number, I could call you on those 
occasions as well.

	Larry, Are you still looking for crew? I was taught to sail on Solings about 1978. They are light on comfort but a good boat. I have bareboated and daysailed everything from Pearson 22s to Morgan OI 41s. Its been a while since I brought a boat into a mooring or dock under sail alone, but I find the skills come back very quickly. Most of my sailing has been on L.I. Sound, the Chesapeake Bay and the Virgin Islands. Ed

    Larry,
    Are you still looking for crew? I was taught to sail on Solings about
    1978.  They are light on comfort but a good boat.  I have bareboated
    and daysailed everything from Pearson 22s to Morgan OI 41s.  Its been
    a while since I brought a boat into a mooring or dock under sail
    alone, but I find the skills come back very quickly.  Most of my
    sailing has been on L.I. Sound, the Chesapeake Bay and the Virgin
    Islands.
