Island Time 1,211 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hi Luke, welcome to Crew.org! Some more details would be useful. Where are you located? Age/Fitness? What type of sailing are you interested in (Dingy, Keeler, local/longer distance, racing/cruising etc)? That might get you a response. Cheers Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1islandguy 0 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 I am living in Auckland. My parents live in the coromandel so I drive there often. I am 26 years old and I'm just looking to learn as much as I can about sailing. My goal is to sail to the pacific by the time I am 50. I work as a support worker on land but I really want to be on the sea. I don't know much about sailing but glad to help out! I am not good at this so I will keep it short lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richmond 2 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi there, Our club run a great series every summer for people new to sailing. It's a series of 8 races and you get the chance to meet different skippers, other keen sailors and sail on boats of different sizes. Give our friendly club admin Kate a call in the office (Tues-Fri) on 09 3764332 or find out more on the series page on our website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
