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.
Hello,
I am inexperienced but would like to learn to crew and sail a vessel should there be any availability.
