Lady looking for a ride.

[Kiteroa 8]

Posting on behalf of my good friend Hannah.... After a quick blast on WT the other week she developed a new found interest in sailing! She has minimal sailing experience but would like to join a crew and get to know the ropes. Ideally she'd like to sail on a boat with a relaxed crew 30-40yrs old so she can also fit in on a social level. She's a good UK girl hoping to make some friends.

 

I'm thinking a spot on a downtown boat, saturday racing or something? Send me a PM with the type of boat, when you race etc and i'll pass on the details.

 

Thanks

Hi my name is Ian and I own a Whiting 29 keeler based at Maraetai near

Beachlands & Pine Harbour.

 

I have done alot of racing in the past but only

cruise on my boat now. My wife and teenage daughter don't always want to

come out so I have built up a group of crew of many nationalities and ages.

We try and sail at least once a fortnight & take a maximum of 6 of us at any one time. Generally we do a

day sail out of Maraetai, to an island for lunch and home again. Crew either meet at Maraetai or at my place in The Gardens, Manukau City and carpool to Maraetai. Sometimes we do an overnight if we can get a group

together who are keen to do that.

 

Unfortunately due to the the distance out of town that our place and the yacht club is, you do need your own transport. Have tried public transport a number of times and it really doesn't work. Happy to car pool from my place to the yacht club though.

 

Thanks

 

Ian
