8) Aloha GBCA Forum~
Yes, I certainly am looking for a boat on which I can crew (Maybe even the up coming Rum Races on 7/11 & 7/18?) :)
I raced for a couple'a years in the J22/J24 class, some big boats/ regattas too, but that was a while ago so I am beginning again.
Went to the 'Race Seminar' and then got invited for Rum Races with Captain Bob Hunkins on the Leopard, that was a blast!
I am officially now a member of GBCA and I am willing to start anywhere I am needed.
I want to learn as many boat positions as possible, and just learn as much as my brain can absorb.
I am reliable, show up on time every time, and am motivated to learn everything I can about racing/ sailing/ boat maintenance. (cert. a & p aviation mechanic)
ASA 101 completed, more on the way. Am registered for the 'Sail Trim' seminar next month too. I can usually even come last minute as a just-in-case crew.
If I had a sailing-motto it would be something like, "What I lack in experience I make up for in enthusiasm"!
Aloha~

Thank you all for your interest in helping me find a boat and crew spot, I appreciate you taking the time to contemplate my desire to crew.
It appears I have a ride for the up and coming #3 Rum Race, though nothing is set in stone yet for the #4 Rum Races on the 18th (and beyond).
I will be posting that very question to this forum probably by Sunday / Monday.
I hope that my diligence conveys my strong desire to, not only crew, but to become a vital crew member (eventually).
Do you go out interim? In between the races?
I'm happy to get in any practice I can get, if you need an extra body for your boat.
*Here's hoping for some excellent wind (and my bow crossing first!). ;)
mahalo & aloha.

I sent you a message through GBCA. Stinger has a spot if you would like to take it.
I've got a spot on J22 for Sept and Oct weekend HYC and LYC regattas. Plus interim practice sails. If interested, email me at rduste@aol.com
