Slight long shot but I believe there's a few members on here who sail.

The yacht I sail on is looking for crew to join us for Sunday racing in the Solent followed by the round Ireland yacht race (including transit) in June, the yacht is an IRC 1 race winning yacht.

If this is something that interests you and you feel you have suitable experience for some challenging racing please get in touch.

What's the boat?

(My days of long races are well past).

Ive been down for a few of the Frostbite series so far this year. Perhaps Ive raced against you?

I'll happily come round the cans in the Solent. I trim main and have been lucky enough to win the Fastnet a couple of times as well as the RORC and JOG series' a few times. The serious racing was a few years ago and nowadays, I just go out to have a bit of fun and get back to the bar as quickly as possible! smile

My offshore days are well and truly behind me now.

What sort of boat is it?

Too cold for us! The boat has been out the water over the winter but is back in now.

The yacht is a swan65, Huntsman you've probably passed it many a time.

If you decide you want some self stowing trainable ballast I'd be tempted. No big boat experience (well paying crew in a tall ship doesn't count) and only played in dinghys so not great offer!
