Hey everyone,

I grew up on Long Island and Started Sailing with Joe and Keith Seluga, i did quite a few races with them on the NACRA 6.0 From Robins Island to just cruising at Heckscher State Park. There isn't a week that goes by where i don't think about sailing!!

I was wondering if anyone on the board knows of anyone in Southern California that might be interested in having someone reliable to handle the Main and Jib.

Thanks everyone

Contact John Williams. He knows everyone. Literally. Especially in SoCal.

Where do you live, Owen? San Diego's got a good fleet at MBYC, and Long Beach has a good fleet at ABYC. Both fleets need people. There's a good schedule of events between the Hobie 16s, the F18s and the A-class regionally, with a pocket of Nacra 20s at MBYC. I know of boats for sale if you want your own, or of skippers that need crew if you'd rather. There are also lots of on-the-water jobs available throughout the year. Drop me a PM and we'll trade contact info.

And thanks, Tad - nice of you to say, but I'm still pretty much the FNG out here.

What town are you in?

Yeah, but for a new guy... dude... I'm with Tad and I don't even live there.

Oh, whatever JW. You're pretty connected my friend. As soon as we find out where dude's at we'll be able to guide him. Div 3 is strong! So is Div 2. We've got ABYC, some Aclass around. We're dialed, just need a location.

I'm at MBYC in San Diego. We have several boats that often need crew, my F18 included. As everyone else has said, where in SoCal?

fantastic opportunity to sail a fun new race in socal is the border run. the short course is 66 miles and finishes in s.d. all 18+ footers are welcome. should be a few guys looking for solid crew, eh?

Mitch,
Is there a link for the information on the border run.
I would be interested.I'm sure Owen would like to know.

Mitch,
Don't know if Schwartzi told you but I've got a charter N20 for the race. See you on the starting line baby!

www.xsracing.org has the link, it's growing fast, and lee, the only thing you will be seeing is my butt!

nothin new. still a sheetty view. better than seeing you face by a long shot!

Wow guys awesome response, sorry for not getting back sooner, i thought i was going to get an e-mail when there was a reply LOL.

I am in Laguna Hills Smack in the Middle of OC, to be honest im probably a little rusty so mabye a few causal trips would be good to start off

did i miss the boat with everyone LOL

You just missed a million Hobie sailors by a couple months. There were a big bunch of us down the road a few miles in Dana Point for a regatta last September.

Well thats a bummer, i would really like to link up with someone local for recreational sailing to get back in the swing of it again. i have no problems with traveling a little bit to get some sailing in.

Go here:
Div 2

They have an email reflector. Send them an introduction.

If you get stuck. PM me and I'll hook you up directly.

Thanks, i shot an e-mail over for crew training and a quick introduction. I appreciate the help.

I live in Irvine, CA. I retired from sailing and am now windsurfing all over the area.

I know hobiegary on the forums has a group of cat sailors in Marina Del Rey. I have seen cats at Sunset beach in long beach. I have also seen cats at cabrillo beach and i have seen more at my favorite Lake Isabella (f'n windy).

Message hobiegary he has helped me many times over the years and is a nice guy.
