I'm interested in crewing on either a multihull or a classic boat (wood or glass), any rig (though I'm especially interested in schooners, cutters, ketches & yawls).

I'm middle aged, have sailed 40 years on dinks to 115'loa schooners, nearly all types (no Dutch botter yachts yet, darn it), most rigs (except square), taught at the Offshore Sailing School (when based on City Island)& with the CG Auxilliary. I've owned a few trimarans, raced on monohulls & multihulls, cruised on both. Been a yacht club member too. My wife and I once sailed up the East River at night from the upper NY Bay out to Oyster Bay when the motor in our 31' tri quit. We've sailed on & off moorings, up to and off docks, mostly w/o a motor as well.

My experience includes sailing the intracoastal to Miami, with a few offshore stints, sailing in Maine every year, lived and sailed on the west coast as well (San Francisco Bay & the LA areas). Have also done occasional deliveries up/down the east coast (not long distance generally). 

I'm calm, 6' tall, a bit bald, can help show newbies the ropes if needed, have a decent sense of humor (I'm a sailor, right?), and would also be interested in crewing evening or weekends. Worked in naval architecture way back, now in association management.

I live on Long Island, Nassau Cty, near the south shore. Work in Jersey City.

If interested, contact me at fredmgoldfarb@hotmail.com

I would be available to crew on a boat.  I have little to no sailing experience, other than I like it and would like to participate in this event.  I know this is work but I am willing.  If someone is short crew, I can fill in.

I know - not a great resume' but if you are short , I can help.

Very interested in crewing on ALIR.

Male 50yo, 175lb, 5'6".  Four years experience racing Lightnings.  Owned Sabre 28 for several years.  Occasional racing crew on Ericson 29 out of Annapolis.  Currently crewing non-spin Catalina 34 out of City Island this season.  Crewed on X-332 during Larchmont Race Week. 

Very competent at jib trim, main trim and pit.  Experienced at spin trim on smaller boats.  OK at mast.  Great on the rail :-)  Excellent eye for sail trim specifically, and good head for tactics and strategy in general.  Good cook.  Enthusiastic and committed; can learn anything.  Never been seasick, regardless of weather. 

Looking to expand my horizons and experience and make a positive contribution on a serious boat with a competent skipper and crew.
