Are You Looking for Crew? Or Wanting to Crew?
For any skippers who are looking for new crew or just need that extra crew member, there are several options available to ensure your competitiveness in the Sydney City Marine Winter Series.
The Sailing Office is always available to help with your crew requests and has an extensive email database of persons who have indicated their interest in crewing opportunities. An online version is also available - click here.
The most effective and popular method is picking up crew from the Breezeway on the Saturday mornings prior to the race. Crew can leave their details on the Crew Board and vice versa with boats requiring crew.
