SUNDAY/SAILING/TEACH YOU TO SAIL BECOME PART OF MY CREW MAKE FRIENDS FOR LIFE
Details
BECAUSE I TEACH TO FIND ONGOING CREW MY REQUIREMENTS ARE MAX WEIGHT 70kg EARLY 40s IN AGE
If only 2 people are showing on Meetup, those are myself and one person from Meetup. On any sailing day, there may also be my regular crew or people I have introduced through the Facebook Crew Finder. However, my small yacht never carries more than four in total.
If the event is full make sure you join the wait list I move people around to going if there really keen and learning well or if someone drops out
- AS IM LOOKING FOR GENUINE PEOPLE WANTING TO LEARN HOW TO SAIL WHICH WILL TAKE SOME MONTHS PREFER PEOPLE STAYING IN SYDNEY AT LEAST 12 MONTHS EVEN BETTER IF YOU LIVE HERE
- IF YOUR NOT COMING TO LEARN GO ON A FERRYTHIS ISNT A ONE DAY SIGHT SEEING TRIP
- For safety reasons, you must be able to SWIM OR AT LEAST FLOAT and be comfortable on water.
- ITS VERY SELDOM SOMEONE WOULD FALL IN ONE IN FORTY YEARS.
- 5,Also for safety reasons, you must be able to understand and speak English to enable you to react quickly to a whole new vocabulary of words that you will need to learn
- Finally you must be less the 75kg and prefer crew to early 40s
Each Sunday I run training days to find ONGOING CREW. I'm looking for people LATE TEENS THROUGH TO EARLY 40s who are looking for a fun, competitive sport. Unfortunately I need to make decisions that are best for my boat as, when racing, I only carry a crew of 4, who MUST be fit and agile. This is vital to enable you to move quickly around a small yacht when it heels (leans over) as much as 30 degrees and be ready to sit with your legs over the rail after tacking (changing course).
My yacht wins in most seasons and I'm extremely competitive. We DO NOT carry crew who just sit on the rail, and you must be willing to work as a team.
PLEASE REMEMBER YOU’RE COMING TO BE TAUGHT HOW TO SAIL SO I NEED TO POINT OUT A FEW THINGS FOR SAFETY REASONS
- Wear clothes suitable for sailing – MOST IMPORTANT – rubber, soft-soled shoes with good grip. NO THONGS OR BARE FEET!
- If you have long hair, TIE IT UP
- Glasses and hats need to be tied with cord or similar – I’ve seen so many disappear overboard.
- If you have sailing or gym gloves, bring them to protect hands from rope burn.
- 5 Strong advice - please remove rings from fingers, and super-long nails really hurt when bent or caught
6.If your a poor swimmer i suggest you obtain a life jacket i have life jackets on board in case of a emergency but the are bulky and hard to move in
