Experienced Off Shore Race Crew

A bit about me:

• races on the San Francisco bay and the coastal Pacific (OYRA) around 15-20 weekends per year as well frequent beer cans
• typically in the pit or headsail trim but versatile to drive, trim main trim or go forward
• owns a Tartan 10 at Richmond Yacht Club
• planned, skippered and prior to that crewed in several Chicago to Mackinac races, have placed competitively, overcome mishaps underway and seen brutal offshore conditions (including a dismasting)
• physically fit, non-smoking

What I bring to a team:

• hands on SaS (renewed January 2024)
• CPR / First Aid Certified (renewed December 2025)
• USCG 6 pack trained (paperwork in progress)
• technically savvy (boat systems, navigation, weather & routing software)
• can bring my Iridium Go, antennae, etc as a back-up for Starlink
• provisioning, watch schedules, planning gear, etc
• experience, enthusiasm and determination

What I’m looking for:

• veterans of crossings to Hawaii or other significant offshore distance racing
• A good culture amongst crew mates who are skilled and good communicators
• a well maintained boat vessel with a good balance of speed and comforts to sustain the crew for the crossing

• a clear practice schedule of races and offshore outings between now and July

I'm looking to join a safe, competitive and fun team to do this crossing with. If you're likeminded and headed to Kaneohe, let's do this!
