CREWS

bulletThere are always Sunburst skippers looking for crews.
bulletThere are always crews looking for a berth.
bulletDo not be shy. Come down to the club at about 11:30 Saturdays. Ask around on the rigging area or at the start box. Ring a committee member. Look at our Officers page.
bulletWe especially invite graduates of the learn to sail program to join experienced skippers for more experience.
bulletHave you checked the Watersports-Evans Bay Message Board ?. 
bulletIf you want to place an advertisement, send the Webmaster an email with your details and he will post your ad.
 
bulletThe target combined weight of skipper and crew of recent Sunburst National Champions was about 115 kg. A recent (Aug 2002) Teams Racing event in Sunbursts required that the combined weight of crew and skipper be AT LEAST 125kg to make the racing more even. A 70-80 kg Skipper and a 45-55 kg Crew should be competitive. 
bulletSailing at Worser Bay's often testing weather conditions means heavier combinations are often winners too!  Just do it!

Hi there,
I was a member of WBBC back in 1989 - 1995 (approx) when I sailed a P-Class then a Starling. I often crewed on Sunbursts too. Many happy memories. I was Rebecca Evison then! I have recently returned to NZ after 5 years in the USA and I'm keen to start crewing.
In the USA I sailed a fair bit on a 29er - an awesome class that I understand is not common in NZ. I'm now very keen to crew on an R-Class since I love being on the trapeze. I'm about 75kg so I'm best in strong winds. I love it being wet and windy! I'm available weekends and weekdays occasionally, as I work from home, for myself. I live up in Roseneath so I'm local.
I'd really appreciate you posting mention of my availability to crew on your website - I have done the same on the Evans Bay site.
Many thanks in advance,   ( Posted 16/1/03 )
