Comments: Experienced Sailor without a boat... yet that is. I've lived in Charleston for about 4 years and enjoy racing when I get the chance. My busy work schedule has hampered my ability to be a steady crew on any one boat, but I'm really looking forward to Race Week this year. I've sailed on many of CORA's weekly races and know my way around the harbor. I've crewed on a range of boat and am a quick learner if your boat is out of the ordinary. I tend to work more on the bow, but have experience all over. I'd be able to make any pre race practices you have scheduled as well. Put me to use!
