Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Looking for day-long or multi-day races or delivery crew. Would consider last minute need for races, preferable on a cruiser/racer for something like the N to B. I’ve crewed on the Narragansett Bridge Fiasco, Around Prudence and others. For deliveries preferably from or to New England. Crewed a 2024 deliver NC to RI. Good helmsman, watchman, navigator, night and bad weather sailor, trimmer, cook, crew and deckhand, easygoing.

I have foul weather gear, PLB and AIS MOB, PFD & tether.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I love to learn. Autodidact, problem solver and tinkerer. I like to cook and I keep a clean ship.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

I’ve been drawn to sailing most of my life and recently became far more active, helping with launching and winterizing boats, racing in Narragansett Bay, doing some boat deliveries around New England, and plenty of day cruises locally.
