I am a fit 64 yr old that fell in love with sailing only last year. I completed the 18 hour basics sailing class at Portland Sailing Center. Last fall we took an overnight sailing course on the Columbia River up through the Cascade locks. Last week I returned from a week-long bareboat charter in Mexico that was led by one of our Portland Captains. I also sailed some other boats for a few hours last year, so I believe I have about 80 hours of sailing experience. I am also signed up for an ASA 101, 103, 104 course this summer: https://sanjuansailing.com/instruction-sail/basic-to-bareboat-learn.html My goal is to become proficient at sailing and and ultimately coastal cruising around the San Juan and Gulf Islands.

I have previously lived on a boat (90 ft vessel similar to a Thames sailing barge) for four months, but we mostly were docked or driving under motor power, not sailing. I gained some basic knowledge of knots, navigation, steering, docking, and swabbing the deck of course. I love being on the water and want to learn more about actual sailing.

Howdy! I used to crew pretty regularly in the SF Bay Area (Bay and coastal races) on boats ranging from Ultimates/Merrits/Olsons to C&C 40s.(plus regular dinghy sailing and just bouncing around the Bay on a range of boats generally < 30 ft). I LOVE being on the water - the last ten years or so I've mainly kayaked because I lived places where the sailing was meh. Happy to be rail meat for beer can races to start. Or to just go out for a cruise. Not really much of a partier when on the water - maybe a long drawn out can of something if its super hot and slow but prefer to just concentrate on the race or dangle my toes above the water.

I am looking for a crew position on a competitive boat. I love to race and have experience on all positions. I am particularly looking for a position on a competitive PHRF or one design like a J105. I am available for practice sessions, race days and able to take time off to race Swiftsure, Anacortes Week or any other regattas as I am self employed. I own a 32’ Erickson Scorpion 5.5 Meter and race every Wednesday in Eugene in a one design fleet of the same boats with a crew of 4. I live in Portland and would like to race closer to home and more often. Feel free to contact me for fill in positions on short notice or if you have a competitive boat looking for a dedicated crew member.

I’m a sailboat owner and know the basics. I’m easy going, reliable, and am looking to learn and gain experience to one day race my own boat. Until then though, I am quite handy and hope to bring great value and a fun attitude to a crew for a season or two.

ASA 103 and US Sailing Basic Keelboat certifications. I’ve been racing and cruising the last year in Seattle for CYC and STYC races. Most comfortable on mast in a race setting, though confident doing just about anything at cruising speeds. Friendly, positive, and eager to help where needed. Excited by all opportunities to get on the water. Will bring snacks and skipper’s beverage of choice.
Fair winds!

I have completed my ASA 101, and have experience sailing on boats both small (sailfish) and large (tallship and gaff rig.) I have limited experience on 20-50 foot range but am interested in learning more. I'm looking for any opportunity for racing or cruising, in Portland or the PNW.

I have been sailing for nearly 40 years. I learned to sail on SF Bay and until I moved to Portland had my own Newport 30 which I sailed weekly. I"ve taken and passed several of the ASA courses including Coastal Cruising, and have chartered boats in Europe and elsewhere. I'm a little old and heavy to do foredeck these days, but otherwise I'm I have crewed on numerous boats and am happy to play any role required of me.

I’ve sailed a Balboa 26’, lateen sail Chrysler Baracuda, and Hobie Catamaran (all on lakes). However, I’ve never taken a class nor had any instruction. I’m still a beginner even though I’ve had a bit of experience. I work hard, and know the importance of following direction and coordinating as a team on the water. I’m new to the Portland area and would love the opportunity to crew, to learn more about sailing and spend time on the water.

Hello, I'm Mary! In 2001 I sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a Norwegian tall ship named the Christian Radich. 40 days and 40 nights, what a life-changing experience. The Christian Radich was a traditional working ship so we all worked in rotating overnight and day time shifts. I am interested in sailing again. Unfortunately, many of the skills I learned are not transferable to smaller vessels. Additionally, I learned many of the terms in Norwegian lol. So I am experienced and very inexperienced all at the same time. I do arrive to all of life's tasks with patience, commitment, and determination. Thank you for considering me for your crew. 🙂

I have my ASA101, 103, & 104. I worked @ island sailing club spring/summer 2022, and raced at the club that season. I also was reserve skipper on a Tahiti to New Zealand crossing Dec '22-Jan '23. I regularly sail here in Portland & would love to do so through the winter. I'm looking to be more connected to the sailing community, improve my racing skills, and contribute to a fun and successful Sailing on Sundays season with a friendly, knowledgeable skipper and crew. Thanks!

Recently took the beginner class at Willamette Sailing Club and got all the experience on a 420. Quite a while back raced on Catalina 25s half a dozen times, generally as foredeck or a 5th person with minor jobs. Also sailed in Bayfield Wisconsin on a C&C 44 and a bigger boat that was a custom build, there I repacked chutes below deck but was usually weight or a gopher.
I am 115 pounds so likely my most useful position is foredeck, especially on small boats.

I've done ASA 101,103,104,106,118 and US Sailing Safety at Sea Offshore. I have raced cruiser class and J-24's and have experience troubleshooting technical issues and doing repair work.
I'm looking for an opportunity to get out on the water for more than a few hours at a time -- would like to help with a delivery or crew for a cruise along the coast, San Juans, or Gulf islands. My schedule is flexible.

Hello!
I learned to sail while in the Navy and spent the last ten plus years letting life get between me and the water. While being spoiled by the Naval Marinas, I crewed on a few 30-40 foot boats for day sails and on a 73-foot traditional rigged schooner. Other than that it was mostly time spent solo-sailing in 14 to 24 foot boats.
I have completed the ASA 101 course here and I am scheduled to complete 103/104 this season as well.
I am easy going, good at taking direction and take safety very seriously.
Looking for any opportunity to get back out there!
Thanks,

Beginner, took classes with Cliff and Ariel at PSC on an Ericson 23. I wanted to learn to sail after learning some basics and being a passenger sailing the SF bay growing up. I loved it, I’m excited to learn more. I’m a fast learner, I’m pretty chill under pressure and love to meet new people who are also excited to teach.

I have taken a sailing class at Portland Sailing Center with Cliff, Ariel, and Erica and have gone on an overnight trip in a Pearson 39 to the Cascade Locks and back. I learned to sail on a Ericson 23 (and the Pearson 39) and have learned how to run most of all the positions on a sail boat. I am a beginner, but I love a challenge. You may have to give me a few pointers on the specific boat, but I pick things up quick. Thank you!

Hi! I just got my ASA 101 and I want to join a crew to practice sailing and be more confident before to start ASA 103 and 104. I have no preferred crew position as I'm novice at sailing. Also my schedule is flexible so I'm available.
I'm French and I moved to Vancouver 4 years ago. Learning to sail is a wish I have since I was a teenager (I'm in my forties now) and sailing on the Columbia River will sure procure the fun and challenge needed! (Also already a challenge for me to learn all these new things in English!) - Brent
