Crewing in somebody else’s boat is a good way to get into sailing. Not only will you learn how to rig the boat and which bits of string to pull when sailing it, you will also get to know the other people who sail that type of boat. Then you will be much better able to decide which boat to buy for yourself when the time comes.

If you would like to crew for someone, click the link below and give the email the title Crew Available. Enter your name, age, weight and experience, along with your contact details and preferences (if any) for the types of boats you are interested in. We will then pass your details to the relevant fleet captains, who will suggest your name to anyone who needs a crew.
