Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

Jolly, I've had a lot of crew. A few turned into good friends. But the crew I really trust turn out to be sailors that I've known for a long time.
Take home: It is really difficult to find good...

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

Its also interesting to me how my view has changed over the life of this thread. I have met some outstanding sailors. I do not ask them virtually anything, I just are happy to crew with them.
I...

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

Interesting approach Katbird, I only have had one crew go nuts, others have just gotten tired and not done their job well. With the nutball, I immediately corrected the course (to keep from getting...

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

Yeah even a owner wants to hear:)
A good hint (and what happens on my boat now) is that the boat fills up with friends and mates and there is one or two places left. I have had better passages with...

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

I would be more worried about who can work while under adverse conditions (sick). I do like what you said about character. I've seen alot of interesting characters revealed under sail. Including some...

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

We keep the 10 commandments in my home and on my boat. If someone cannot do that they would be unhappy sailing with us anyhow. That and no smoking and drinking. And we still manage to have a blast....

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

To put this in perspective, I only bring crew along when doing a dangerous passage and need backup. It is only for a few days. Usually they are too wet, and tired to think of other activities. And is...

That is different, and none of my business IMHO.

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

It's a relatively small boat. I just don't want general hospital on my boat. If they want to go off somewhere when we dock- of course that is their business. But treating each other as sailors is...

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

Went through this tread again, and learned a lot more. Having crew aboard now for a few passages, I have developed a hierarchy of crew. When I go for more than an overnight on the big blue wet thing...

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

Wow, I have a DEA license, an License to practice medicine, but not a TWIC. Would you take one of those instead? What if I promise to be good but really want to crew on your boat ;)

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

There have been both Captains and crew who have never come back. Funny, being in the position that I am in, I only recall stories where the captain is waylaid. ie:

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

Mutiny has always been a problem. Did you bring a plank? :)

Seriously, this is why I always have short demanding passages for anyone who is going to become long term crew. But as you look into the...

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

Search the archives. There was some crew member that brought on some heroin and when the owner pissed him off he was going to let it be discovered in the captains quarter's by customs..

Re: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

Funny I am vetting a crew right now. They usually sound excellent on the net, but this is something that is best done face to face. I think they need to sail briefly too. A passage is no time to meet...
