I am a 64-year-old male holding the HK Marine Department's Level 2 Pleasure Vessel Operator Certificate.
I have basic knowledge of safety and collision regulations, and I'm physically fit. I'm looking to gain real sailing experience before committing to a formal course. I am happy to help as crew (rail meat, line handling, sail packing, general cleaning) on leisure/cruising trips. I am flexible with time and eager to learn. [260922] |

I will be in Hong Kong for business trip in November. I would love to find an opportunity to join a crew for the Around the Island Race.
I have approximately 15 years of offshore and competitive sailing experience, having raced on Mumm 30, TP52, Mini Maxi and Farr 40 yachts in events such as the Rolex Giraglia Race, the Rolex Middle Sea Race, and numerous other regattas throughout the Mediterranean. I am simply looking for a boat where I can enjoy a great day on the water, meet new sailors, and contribute to the team. I am not seeking any compensation, just the opportunity to sail and have fun.

I am employed by a USA company, working in Southeast Asia, and my primary residence is on Hong Kong island. I do have sailing experience, primarily cruising sailing yachts. I have obtained ASA 101(basic keelboat) ASA 103(Basic coastal cruising) ASA 104 (bareboat cruising) I have owned and sailed my 25 ft Santana Monohull. I have had the chance to assist with several deliveries in the past.
Primarily monohulls, but one trip was in a 44 ft Cat. I am mostly interested in building cruising experience, primarily sail, but would definitely consider a motor cruiser. I have never participated in racing. My availability can be up for 10 days at a time. My availability changes each month. I could be available as soon as September 13. [260908] |

I have completed the Hong Kong Government Sailing Scheme Level 1 dinghy sailing course and the RYA Start Yachting course through the Yacht Club. I am also a member of the club and am keen to gain more practical sailing experience.
I am an enthusiastic female sailor who is happy to take on any role on board, follow instructions, and help wherever needed. I enjoy being part of a crew, learning from more experienced sailors, and contributing wherever I can. Reliable, easy-going, and eager to learn, I would welcome any opportunity to spend more time on the water and build my sailing experience. [260908] |

I raced 420s at high school and FJs at college, sailing out of Vancouver @ RYVC and competing in a number of regattas on the Pacific Northwest coast. I hold CANSail Level 6 and have both skippered and crewed. I have also crewed a seven-day voyage down the English coast as part of a marine research expedition. I should note that it has been some time since I sailed regularly and I am a little rusty, but I am keen to get back into it and to build experience on larger boats. I am happy to take any position, and glad to assist with preparation and deliveries. Racing and relaxed sailing alike are of interest.

I started yachting 3 years ago with my college's sailing club, mainly around the southern coast of England and the Solent, where I obtained my RYA Day Skipper. I have sailed on Sun Odyssey 43 and Elan Impression 434.
I am keen on gaining experience in any class in Hong Kong waters, meaning I'm down for all kinds of yachting, from leisure weekend sailing, to even racing! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need a crew or hands on any trips.

I am currently based in Hong Kong. I have been sailing for over 25 years and have significant regatta experience in Germany and internationally. I am very interested in joining a boat as crew in Hong Kong, especially for racing and regattas, but I would also be happy to join training sessions or regular sailing. I learned to sail on dinghies, but I also have a lot of yacht experience, including commercial sailing, and I hold the relevant license.
During regattas, I can support with jib trim, mainsail trim, and navigation, but I am also open to other positions. I speak German and English and currently have a very flexible schedule, so I am available anytime. If there are any skippers, owners, or teams currently looking for experienced crew, I would greatly appreciate any introduction or information. [260703] |
