Harvey (518) 439-8722 |
Looking for a ride for the Hong Kong YC Rolex China Sea Race, March 20 of this year. I would like to do this race, preferably as a navigator. I have sailed extensively all my life and took the American "Safety At Sea" seminar in Feb of 2006; this is required for the Newport-Bermuda Race. I am an ISAF group 3 sailor with about 120,000 miles offshore experience. I know how to operate all of the tactical and navigational sailing programs, including Expedition, Deckman, MaxSea, Nobeltec, etc. and have sailed in the Far East before. I am a retired lawyer in my sixties but fit and active and in addition to actively racing, regularly deliver racing boats from the US northeast to the eastern Caribbean (1500-1600 miles) and back in April and November, when the weather can be and usually is nasty. If you are interested, let me know at jharvey@nycap.rr.com

I've been sailing since 2003 primarily on light 30 footers (Mumm 30s, R/P Super 30 "The Cone of Silence". I have a good mixture of inshore racing as well as coastal passage races on the above boats, and a few thousand miles of offshore experience. I'm a big guy (circa 110kg) and will happily trim main or spinnaker as well as run pit or do any other role as required. Refs available. |
