"If you know of anyone looking for a regular crew for next season and is willing to teach a rookie, please let me know."

Yeah, Me! I'll PM you with my contact info and questions: Like weight, height, equipment requirements, time commitment options, experience, spin experience, level of patience for light air, and distance race experience.

Your outlook on light air can be really important here on the West River and the Chesapeake. Our club races in wind, no wind, and rain with wind. Sometimes we push-off in the no wind with a little rain condition.

In the past two years, I have brought two prople into sailing and cat sailing. They use to be people, but now they are cat sailors. Both of which are about to own their own boats.

Learning your way around the river and all the marks we use is very important. This reaction can be avoided: “Where the Hell is P mark; X and F gates, never heard of them let alone seen them.”

I’m probably looking for a rotating crew situation, depending on the crew pool.

If you haven’t already, you may want to get on our e-mail list thru Keith.

I look forward to talking with you,
