Nah... the boat is run by specialists.

You need to put down the positions and the exact skill set needed then recruit for those positions.

Getting people who think they are helms... not a plan.

The plan I floated upwards was to spec out the criterion for each crew position... Run a selection process where sailors could build their resume for one of those positions over the summer. (grinder, trimmer, etc) Have a selection committee pick the team at the end of the summer.

There are a number of big fast multi's and tris and race keel boats around the country... Use these owners as part of a coaching team where the candidates get the training they need towards the job they are shooting for and they get a recommendation from the coaches on the boats.
