Relatively new to sailing (began in October 2010 with small boats); However, I have done a lot to further my skills. I can email you my previous experience if you need it.
I read about sailing all the time and want to get into Blue Water. If I can't crew for you then I intend on doing swiftsure with the race boat I currently crew on. There is a training related to swithsure that is focused on offshore sailing. If this helps my chances of getting aboard, then I would definitely do it.
Please let me know what you think. You can email me at coultercjc at gmail.com
