I am looking to crew for some events in 2007. I was living in San Francisco but just moved to Newport Beach. For the last two years have raced with Jeff Pape USA 873 including Worlds in San Francisco and Chris Busch USA 969 for the Worlds in Perth Australia.Yacht racing is my profession and has been for the last 15years. Because of this there would be a fee associated with racing or time on the water. With 20 years of coaching experience I believe I have a lot to bring to an Etchells program. Committing for a season is difficult because of Olympic campaign in Star class, Transpac and so on. 6' 3" and 255Ibs |

I'm 47 years old, male, 5'11" and 155~160 pounds, and I've been racing Etchells in Chicago until last summer as foredeck crew (Can't get enough of it, so I'm returning there briefly to compete at the NOODS and Worlds in June).

I have experience racing various boats, from dinghys to off-shore, in many different venues and roles for over 30 years, though foredeck is where I feel most at home. |
