FUBAR Powerboat Rally

I was wondering what the requirements are to be considered for the 2009 Fubar. I’ve been reading San Souci’s blog’s and it sounds like a wonderful trip.
I read that the applications come out in 2009. Will they be on this website?
Thank you.

What are the requirements for this next trip? I do not have a boat but would like to participate as a stewardess/nutritional/creative cook etc. If you know of anyone who would need a hand even as afar as deck work etc. I would be happy to assist.
My background is extensive as a co-owner of a 47′ circumnavigator and a sailboat plus numerous Caribbean chartered cruises. In addition to which, I’ve crewed/cook on the world famous Starship expedition ship of famed Michael Poliza.
I would love to hear from anyone who needs help on board.
thank you,
Janice

Hi, Janice: My wife (also Janice) and I were notified yesterday of our acceptance by the committee for the FUBAR journey. We are beginning to talk with people about crewing on our 42′ California LRC (trawler). I am putting together a little checklist I can send along with more info about us and the boat, etc. If you are interested in hearing more, please contact me. Thanks so much!
