Comments: To whom it may concern,
I would like more information on both racing and cruising -  (when and where you meet, on what days and so on).  I am a beginner at sailing - which means that I have never stepped foot on a sailing vessel while it was underway.  However, I have operated many power boats in my day and I do have my boaters card.  What I'm really trying to say is that I do have experience on the water....just not on a sailboat. 
My main reason for wanting to do this is that I am interested in buying a 40 or 50 foot sailboat and sailing ... pretty much all over the world ...someday.  Which is why  I want to help crew a boat - not only to learn the different parts of a sailboat, but also to see how well I'm going to like it. 
Thank you for your quick reply to this message.

Comments: Hey all, I am looking for a boat to crew on this summer.  I raced on a Martin 242 last year, and havent heard back from the captain yet this year.  So I am hoping to find another boat to crew on.  I prefer to sail weeknights and weekends on the columbia.  My main job last year was sail trim, though i did everything from rail meat, to foredeck, to helm work.  I will do anything that needs to be done.  I'm professional, hard working, and easy to get along with.  Please contact me if you have any open space on your crew.

Comments: I am looking for racing-cursing. I have sailed over 10 years though recently moving to the portland area in the Gulf of Mexico and still love it. I am experienced in small lasers through J-24s and up to an Islander 44, Hunter 36... I have Skippered in the Harvest Moon regatta over several years and will Co skipper the Regatta de Amigos to Veracruz, Mexico this year. Along with my sailing experience I am well versed in electrical and mechanical work. I headed the complete refurbishment of the Islander sailboat including the re-wiring of the electrical system including an A/C Generator and the re-building of the entire drive train. So I am a very versatile crew member even in a tight crunch not that I want to go there again. Give me a call even if you only need work done on your boat. Thanks, Chris

this summer, also at Island Sailing, mostly on the foredeck. Before that, I had a 21-ft Aquarius that I was fixing up.

Comments: As a member of the Stanford Sailing Association I had the opportunity to crew on many types of boats out on the San Francisco Bay. For 10 years I had my own Venture 24' that I used on the bay and many lakes near the Bay area. I started my sailing career at 8 years old after buying an El Toro and working through a Sailfish and FJ until I purchased the Venture 24 from Stanford. I got some off-shore experience on a week long Stanford sponsored trip off San Diego into Mexico. Great fun..... I worked helm for a few races on a friend's boat out of Alameda Yacht Club. Didn't do so well, but it was great fun. I would like to get back into some racing. Thanks

Comments: I have been involved in the Beer Can Races of Tahoe for years.   At present, I crew a Cal 20 on Thur. in Portland.  I am looking for opportunities to sail other days.   I'm 6 ft, strong and 200 lbs.   Good for most things but heavy for foredeck.  Love to sail, easy going.

Comments: I recently moved to PDX from Cleveland, Ohio where I have been a competitive racer for 9 years. (Member of NCWSA and CSA) I am most comfortable as a down wind sail trimmer (kickname fly girl...) and pit, but having owned a Tartan 27, I am used to helming, trimming, foredeck, etc.
Boats I've raced on: S2 7.9, J24, J130, J30, J22, Santana 20, Tartan 30, Lightening, C&C 41, C&C SR 33
I'm 5' 2" and approx 105 pounds. Good for "extra weight needed to make weight."
Can't wait to get on the water! Oh yes - and I'll bring the beer :) Cheers!

Comments: I've spent the last 2 summers sailing with friends on the Anacostia and the Cheasapeake Bay.  Typically we were out in Flying Scots.  I love being on the water and work hard.  My skill level is probably advanced-beginner as I have some skills but they're rusty.  I'm available evenings and weekends and would love to set up a regular spot.  Looking to learn and help as I can.
Thanks!

Comments: I'm dying to get on the water! Beggars cannot be choosers, but my preference would be a smaller boat. 
Short Experience:  Raced a short while in San Diego (Capri 25 / Bay and Blue Water racing). I flew the spinnaker as well as helped with trim work and pit. I really miss the camaraderie and adrenalin rushes of the racing experience.
Side Benefits: I will be moving to Sydney the end of Summer, so crew will get the added benefit of Sydney homestay!  I plan to spend a lot of time on the water there, so I need a quick summer crash course!  I always show up with enticing beverages and munchies. 
I am self-employed, so my flexible schedule varies week to week depending on workload.
Cheers!

Comments: I live in St. Johns, so I am close to the Columbia, and may be available as a last minute substitute.  My cell is 503-720-9818.  I am willing to go out in fair or foul conditions.
I have attended the OWSA Women's racing series for the past two years.  My skills have never become polished, because I have never consisitently crewed on one boat.  I am determined to become an excellent sailor, regardless of how long it takes me to do so.
My ultimate dream is blue water cruising, but I need to learn a lot more about boats before then, and I am willing to put in the time and effort it takes to become a good racing crew in the meantime. I have also sailed dinghies, such as the FJ, Lido 14, Thistle.  I weigh 250, so I am very good rail meat.  I would like to learn foredeck, but my only experience at jibing a spinnaker is a few times on the Thistle, but I know that this is a valuable position, and am willing to spend the time to learn it for a skipper who is willing to invest the time in training me.
Once again, I am getting a late start this season.  I had "cleared the deck" due to my board duties for OWSA.  But now my time had freed up and I can go sailing.  I have a very flexible schedule, and so I am available for daytime sails, deliveries, etc.  (Maybe even painting and varnishing if you ask me nicely;)

Comments: Hi, I am new to the sailing scene up here.  I have racing experience in both San Fransisco and San Diego for a total of about 5 years while I was in school in California.  I have worked just about every position, and have raced on boats from 25 to 60 feet...  But I have logged most of my races on a Catalina 30 and an Erickson 38.
I'm looking for a boat that is somewhat competitive, but also has a good atmosphere.  At the moment I would be happy to sail as an alternate and get to know the racing scene, but I will be looking to join a steady crew in the long run.

Comments: I selected "Rail Meat" because even though I've sailed for three years and have sailed in blue water along the WA coast, I suffer from arthritis and don't have the strength I used to. ISO captain with boat here in Portland/ Vancouver area. I love being on the water! Teach me to fish? I'm a gourmet chef!  I just moved here from the Seattle area and wish to find new sailor friends but ultimately want to find a life partner. My dream is to be a snowbird to Mexico each winter and am financially able to purchase a boat there to stay on, but since I am not mechanical, I need a captain. Ready to join me? I'm a semi-retired business professional but am comfortable and easily get along with almost any social group or situation. I enjoy entertaining!
