  1. Hey,
    I am inexperienced but I would love to help crew and learn as much as possible if there are any opportunities.

    1. Your best opportunity would be to come to the Melbourne Yacht Club during any Rum Race evening (there happens to be one tonight). Show up a little early, no later than 5pm I would recommend. Ask anyone you see if they can point you to a MYC representative that can help you find a boat to sail on that matches up with your experience and abilities. MYC prides itself on leaving no one on the docks for Rum Races. If all else fails, find Fleet Captain Dave Noble, and he will make sure you find a boat.

  2. Hey, I am new to town and come from a small boat one design sailing back round with a little experience in PHRF racing (Flying Scots, 420’s, Viper 640, Melgis 32, J24, Pearson Flyer, and a few cruiser designs). It has been a while but I do have a little experience in foredecking so if anyone needs a crew I would love to come out meet some new friends and hopefully hop on for a race.

    Thanks!
