Word of mouth and reaching out seems to work better than “crew list” boards.
FWIW (not much), in my experience you need to find people who are committed to going all the time (like every race in the schedule) and, in turn, you as skipper also need to be equally committed. If you don’t race all the time, two things will happen: 1) crew members who want to race all the time will find a different boat to commit to; and 2) it will be difficult to find crew for only a few races in the schedule. I like to race a few long distance races each season, and it is very difficult to get good crew willing and able to go more than a weekend. Even that can be a challenge. Also, parents with young kids find it hard to commit (understandably).
