There are always boats looking for race crew here, but if you're not in the network of sailors it can be hard to get started. If he has any sailing connections he should leverage them. If not, print up a flyer and post it at all the chandlers and yacht clubs in town. They all have bulletin board

Likely the same as most other clubs National Yacht Club has a membership category for crew. Thanks to a few skilled computer programmers at NYC there is a full online crew bank with skill level and preferences that automates the matches and emails everyone. Every spring the club runs a special

I thought that when this subject (Yacht Club Crew Membership category ) came up before, the consensus was that most Clubs did not offer this category - or force crew on Cruising boats to join. I would be very interested to hear what Clubs are now doing, and if they require membership by crew wh

Wind here got very high between 8 and 10 pm. and caused some damage to our docks for the second time this season. This is rare for us as the docks are a mile or so from the mouth of the harbour. Gusts recorded at the weather buoy south of Port Stanley reached 45 knots, and it was a south wind

Does anyone on the list use CNG for their stove? If so, could you tell me about how it works, suppliers, and pitfalls? My boat came with a CNG stove and full tank of CNG; the system seems to be in good condition, but I'm too intimidated by it to try it before having someone check it out; but
