Umm, not sure where your home town is but you may want to try your local sailing club. Racers are always looking for crew, dependabilty is a key requirement.

If you are looking for someone to take you cruising it might be a tough sell, not many people are willing to sign up crew they don't know and who have no sailing experience.

But good luck

In my opinion the best way you can get sailing experience is by sailing. Sailing is easiest when you have your own boat.

If you sail a dinghy like a Lido 14 or a Hobie 16 around your area you can gain lots of experience. And they are both good fun! You could get a functional boat for 1000$ US.(Southern California) And, both of these boats can handle two people.
