  • 27 years of sailing experience, primarily racing Hobie Catamarans. But I did slip off the wagon and served as bowman and then middle man on a E Scow -- 2 years. Loved the large team, but hated waiting to get there: 8 MPHs. So I bought my Hobie Tiger and served as skipper for five years. I had a strong team and we were progressing, but a business start-up broke up the success. I'm finding it difficult to put together a team. Why not turn it around and have me crew instead? I want to be involved in an energized champaign, with a serious interest in building a strong racing team. I'd like to be a contender. I have raced in CRAW several times; great crowd! I have always been disappointed that I could not attend more. I'm ready to travel -- nationals sounds very good! 52 years of age; 200 pounds. I have equipment, I can rig the boat, I know the lines, and it's that-way
    upwind. So we just need to put-it-all together. Drop me an e-mail. Give me a call. Let's talk. I'm indefatigably serious about racing!

    • I have grown up on a lake sailing C-scows, Lasers and Hobie 16s. In 2006 I sailed with Brent at Rock Lake on the F18. I live 10 minutes from Brent and Jennifer so I can easily find a ride to any CRAW regatta. wbllacrosse08@comcast.net

    • I am determined to learn to sail and particularly partial to the CAT experience. Came to Racine 2006 to meet everyone, but could not stick around very long, yet I really liked the CRAW crowd - a great gang.
      MY STATS: Tall, slender, flexible, athletic and naturally competitive 5'11", 145 lbs. I stay in-shape; have extended endurance, a lot of drive and not easily spooked by physical challenges. I used to row crew in college so I know how to train, compete yet still have fun. Love being on and in the water. I LOVE the CATs and CAT racing and really want to crew in the 2007 season. What I lack in experience I will easily make up for with enthusiasm and being a fast learner. I'm reading all the sailing info I can get my hands on but clearly understand that this doesn't replace the teachings of an experienced skipper or the experience of being on the boat. Will be glad to volunteer to help on the committee boats etc, but would prefer to be in the competitions if at all possible.
      LOCATION: I Live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with a pretty demanding work and personal life BUT I am willing to road trip to the regatta's and commit to a schedule as long as I can plan far enough in advance.

    I have been sailing the cat that I presently have for about five years off and on. For the last two years I have been sailing on Flathead Lake in Montana on a Laser 28 for the Saturday regattas, then joined a J-24 crew for a racing series that took us around Montana and Idaho. I also raced a J-29 in a couple of series races. I have been traveling in New Zealand and Australia and while in New Zealand I joined a Weds. night racing series and crewed on a Farr 11.5, which was much different from any previous sailing experience. I then moved over to Melbourne for a short time and joined another weds night racing series which I crewed on a Model 33. Most of the possitions I have had were trimming the head sail. I have not yet been able to compete on a cat but am very excited about the opportunity. I am 25 years old and in the best shape of my life. I weight in at 183 and my height is 6'4" tall.
