Graysonface 0 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hey, My name is Grayson and I moved to Auckland about 5 months ago. I am a 24 year old female from texas who would love to learn a little bit about sailing and give it a try. Looking for a laid back crew that needs an extra hand. Send me an email at Grayson.Cobb@gmail.com if interested. Link to post Share on other sites

Fogg 427 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hi Grayson, well done for finding us! Rob here. Everyone else - Grayson is a real life enthusiastic friendly young American girl, new in town and keen to get out on the water, so someone pls give her a chance. She'll be out on AC for some cruising but right wants to try some rum racing in town, if anyone's got a spot for an enthusiastic beginner? Link to post Share on other sites
Guzz 0 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Grayson Your more than welcome to come out on the V Team this Friday for the rum race. Most of our crew has come from the site and most of the guys know our boat. We sail with a mixed female and male crew. You would need to at the RNZYS yacht squadron by 3.30 on Friday. We are on F Pier directly behind the Squadron. Cheers Guzz Link to post Share on other sites
Graysonface 0 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hey Guzz and the V Team! Thanks so much for the invitation to come sail with you guys tomorrow.

Duty Free 2 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Does the skipper get a say in this ---you're very welcome and as Guzz (aka Big guy ) says see you there --do not take any notice of any comments from the Orge about my crew's dress sense , drinking hsbits or " joire de vie "--its all true .

Graysonface 0 Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hey everyone! I had so much fun at the last rum race with the V team! Unfortunately, Im not sure if they're participating this week. Anyone else interested in having a total novice and her sister who's visiting from the states onboard to help out, maybe throw back a beer or two and learn a bit more about sailing? I'm really good at taking the mast cover off and I've been practicing the boat knots! -Thanks, Grayson (texas chick) "I wanna do something really impulsive... but not today." -my sister!
