Who can help

 

Dear David,

 

I am Victor from china. I came to Auckland, the city of sails, to learn sailing from the best!

 

As a new crew member of Richmond Yacht Club, I heard this race from Glen and found myself are very interested.

 

Could you please help me find a crew position? Literally, I wouldn't miss it for the world!

 

I am strong, well-equipped, never seasick, and able to understand the instructions in English, hereafter listed my sailing experiences for your reference:

 

1. Two times in Qingdao,china;

 

2. Two times on "Ted Ashby", a scow of Voyager Maritime Museum;

 

3. Eight times as an tour guide and crew assistant onboard the fleet of "Pride of Auckland" ;

 

4. Last Friday, as a crew onboard "Gambier" which skippered by Colin Hunt, a race belongs to "Victoria Friday Night Special".

 

 

Thanks very much!

PM me and I'll pass it on

Hi people, 51 entries to date

 

First, must stress the below is indicative only, a final decision on courses and start times will be taken tomorrow evening and all entered notified by email.

 

We're looking at a couple of changes this year.

 

First, we'll run three courses instead of last years two. Weather cooperating, the short course will be 7nm, the mid course 8.6 and the longer course 11.7

 

Second, Because we're thinking of sending boats under the bridge, instead of a finish line being a transit from the tower through ODM to the northern side of the harbour, it will be from the tower to Westhaven (ODM) Buoy.

Our Gin Pouring Sheila doesn't have one. And we are converting her to rum for the sail so things are already beginning to look pretty shaky. If we park beside Grinna could he shout the numbers out?

Just had a flash.....perhaps he could shout a series of times through the VHF through the channelXX.
