Not sure of anyone looking for crew right now, but come down and never know what will happen. Some of the big boats will definately have a spot for an experiened racer.
We will be down there on Friday afternoon with a few other boats setting up. Come down and check it out. There is a big regatta party on saturday after racing at the race site (sail newport in Ft Adams) for the whole regatta, then we will be hosting an after party in downtown npt with an F18 series sponsored free keg and some food.
Check out www.NENSA.org for the full racing schedule for the summer. Not many F16's racing in the area, but most events do have an open class. There are a few events that are F18 specific.
