I am a lifelong sailor and consider myself experienced but not professional. I do enjoy the helm but I also enjoy sail trim. I don’t need to be right, if the skipper gives a command I do what the skipper says. I’m not big into conflict. I know how I like to set the sails to go fast but I’m not going to get into arguments, especially on a long race. Crew fights make the race even longer and much less fun.
I am Safety at Sea certified 2019 and am have my US Sailing Level 1 and 2 certifications. First Aid and AED/CPR trained. I have been on our local youth boating association Board of Directors for 11 years and am currently the Operations Committee Chairman. I am a retired dentist.

I own and campaign ‘Saga’ in Dana Point and Long Beach which is a Beneteau First 40 mostly on inshore random leg and windward/leeward races.

Also a computer engineer so very capable around electronics including troubleshooting an tuning and I also spent my youth building an drag racing Mustangs so am a very capable mechanic/engineer. I’ve done all positions on the boat from stern to bow but would be happy with any position for a transpac race! Looking to crew on a transpac boat for a few years with the goal of racing my own boat one day!

I completed 9 years of junior sailing, 4 years of varsity high school sailing, 2 years of collegiate sailing, and coached junior sailing for 5 years. I have been racing on everything from Thistles to Catalina 27's to Orma 60's and everything in between. I have raced in offshore regattas at Larchmont YC in New York, as well as completed 6 Port Huron to Mackinac races. I'm looking to do more distance sailing and hoping to find a boat for the 2023 Transpac race! I am extremely comfortable in all positions behind the mast, but excel as a jib/ spin trimmer and helmsman.

Comments: I’m a sailor that has always wanted to cross the Pacific. I'm wondering if you or anyone you know would be willing to take a passage newbie on board next summer 2023 for the voyage east from Hawaii to Cali (or other offshore passages)? I have an ASA 104, 105, 114 & 118 license. I have several years experience sailing & racing in the SF Bay Area, coastal cruising off Cali, cruising the Caribbean and the Med. I am physically fit for my age, just turned 59. I'm a mechanical designer who has been in love with sailing since I was 10 years old. I've been working for Apple since 2009 so lucky to WFH during the pandemic (vaccinated & boosted). Last year was really stressful for me with some challenging projects at work and a big pool project on our new home in Vista Ca (near Oceanside harbor). I would really like to take a month off next summer, unplug and experience the magic of the Pacific. I’m also available as delivery crew if you need an extra hand sailing up or down the Cali coast. I’m happy to pay my own air fare and share of provisions/fuel as needed. Any advice, tips or instruction from you towards this goal would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your valuable time.

Just parted with a Catalina 42 mkII up in the San Juans. Have sailed in Florida, California, Washington, & Canada. I would be thrilled at the opportunity to assist on a crew in this race. I’m open to any position and will learn new tasks quickly with a great attitude (even when things aren’t going as planned). I am very good with change, being flexible, nuanced team dynamics, keeping an upbeat attitude in pressured and uncomfortable situations, and staying calm in emergencies. I’ve guided white water rafting for 14 years, so I have somewhat of an understanding of what it takes to lead teams through long passages that can sometimes be very intense. Happy to be considered, and can provide any other information necessary. Thank you.

Have been sailing 17 years mostly inter-island between Oahu and Molokai, Maui on a Yamaha 25. My bucket list has been to sail between mainland and Hawaii. Attempted the crossing a few years back in my own Catalina 380 but hurricane Barbara changed my mind as we headed south from PNW about 800 miles off coast of San Diego. Long Story short I'm not getting any younger and that bucket is still full. Will to crew either her (Hawaii) or back the other way. Aloha

I have listed just some of my offshore experience below however I wouldn’t be looking for a ride if I didn’t think I had what it takes to join a crew and get over the line as quickly and safely as conditions allow. I’m in it to win it but not at all costs.
I’m an easy going Aussie that loves to have a laugh that will get stuck in without hesitation.
I would love to hear from any skipper or crew manager about the possibilities of joining you for this years race.
Please don’t hesitate to drop me a line anytime and hopefully we can make it happen..

Comments: Last minute availability for Transpac. The boat I intended to sail on just had to drop out of the race due to keel issues.
I campaign my J/92 in local San Francisco bay and ocean races, and have served as navigator in the Pacific Cup, with a 2nd place in division in 2022.
I frequently race successfully shorthanded as well as crewed, so i am familiar with all positions on a boat, strongest at helm and trim.
I am also a Meteorologist, experienced in navigation concepts as well as proficient at Expedition for route optimization, race tracking and weather forecasting. I am also experienced with marine electronics, basic diesel engine maintenance and troubleshooting
I'm disappointed to have to miss out on sailing with great folks after months of exhaustive preparation, but I'm hoping that someone can use my skill set and has an opening.
