2002.0. "1993 RACE CREW WANTED" by BTOVT::HILTON_G (SYS-F-UNIVCRASH% REALITY.SYS Corrupted - Reboot Universe? (Y/N/Q) Tue Feb 23 1993 21:01

    I am forming a racing team for the 1993 season.
    
    We will be racing on a 40' hood with occasional races
    on a J35. Both boats are very well equiped and competitive.
    
    We will be racing on lake champlain starting in late April
    and going on thru October. Most races will be during the
    weekends. We are planning on racing in a few other events
    in New England and MAryland using chartered boats.
    
    I'm looking for people who can be availabe most weekends
    thru the season. I can offer a place to stay in Burlington VT
    for those who need it. 
    
    A basic weekend might go like this. 
    	Arrive friday night. Sleep on board or at my home.
    	SAturday AM race. SAturday evening crusie/party
        SUnday AM race training or return from overnight cruise
    	depart sunday late afternoon.
    
    If you have an interest please drop a repoy here or write
    	Georgia Hilton
    	BTOVT::HILTON_G
    
    We will be fielding a team of 6 full time and 6 part time 
    crew. We need any and all positions.
    
    Helm
    Fore-Deck
    mid-deck
    cockpit
    tailers
    trimmers
    
    If you would like to learn this will be a good chance. I'm 
    looking for dedicated types, experience is good but I'd rather
    have 12 dedicated hard-working folk than 12 awesome crew who
    never show...
    
    we are doing this for FUN and for BLOOD. IE: we intend to win
    but have fun while kicking butt.

2002.1	crew applying	FCCVDE::REINE		`Thu Feb 25 1993 16:00`	13
	Put me on the list for part-time crew. I'd love to try but can't commit to every weekend. I have my own boat (26ft) on Buzzards Bay, and have sailed 35-40ft boats. My racing experience is limited to 19ft O'Day's, but I believe myself to be a pretty good helmsman on the bigger boats I've been on (Can keep it pointing pretty high in light air and tack on a dime). I've got average strength and good stamina, good in the cockpit and would love to try the foredeck, but that may take some work. Anyway, Willing and able, Steve

	for those of you who drop a reply here about being crew, I will post a rely here and send mail sometime in late march with a schedule and a crew meeting date. georgia
2002.3	The accidental Sailor	MR4DEC::BBAKER		`Fri Apr 09 1993 13:39`	12
	I would like to be considered part time (driving from N.H. is a push). My family has voted for a stink pot and I am now a boat driver at home, so would like to do some serious sailing. If you need a part timer please call me - Bill Baker 603 672 4507 dtn 297 9260. I have raced off and on over the last 25 years in boats from stars to one tons including 5 blue water races. Sailing on fresh water would be new and I am sure require some adjustments. I can work fore deck, mast, grind and sewer. I enjoy sailing, don't get upset when things go wrong and HATE TO LOSE. To date I have not hoisted a spinaker upside down (actually watched a profession crew do this) and generally try to keep sails set and drawing well. Good luch in your season Bill
