Match Race Champion Helm. Most recently raced on J70 & J105 teams out of Chicago, USA primarily as a tactician/main trimmer. Former Chicago YC sailing coach.

Lino Liebegott	+45 5336 4596 +852 817 4894 lliebegott@gn.com	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]
Frances Taylor	+44 7966791776 francesvet@hotmail.com	Hi! I'm looking for crew spots for the Summer series and Sunset Sunset Series if anyone is looking for crew. I’m also happy to join on local boat deliveries if anyone needs an extra hand. I've been crewing on one of the Ruffians (Scallywag) since I moved to HK last September, mostly on mainsail or foredeck or sometimes trimming. Prior to moving to HK last September I did some coastal sailing around the UK and the Med, including Scandinavia, Scotland, Wales and Sardinia, and I’m comfortable sailing in strong winds and heavy weather. I have my Day Skipper certificate, and although I'm not particularly experienced, I love being aboard and I’m reasonably handy. [260612]	Sunset Series

Silas	+49 179 4851144 +852 5539 9685 silas.abler@web.de	I have been sailing nearly all my life, with over 15 years of experience. I spent my youth competing in regattas all over Germany in Optis and 420s, as well as attending sailing camps in Italy and France. While I’ve spent some time cruising on yachts, I’m now looking to enhance that holiday experience with some racing on the big boats. I am a fast learner, happy to help with all kinds of tasks on board, and recently moved to Hong Kong to start my first job in banking. I am incredibly eager to get back on the water and become an active part of the local sailing community - the more time I can spend on the water, the better, whether it’s for a relaxed weekend cruise or competitive racing [260413]	Weekday evenings and weekends
Esteban Quintero	+44 07564600109	RYA-certified skipper looking to continue learning, add miles of experience, and make new friends. I'm a good cook, handy and creative with everything related to problem-solving skills, and passionate about the wind and the sea. I'm open to helping with anything needed: day/night watches, cooking, cleaning, fixing, mechanics, etc. I have a hunger for learning. Also, I practice Kitesurfing and Windsurfing. I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese fluently, and currently I'm learning Chinese. Out of the water, I'm an entrepreneur building a financial company for global payments. [260409]	Weekends. Anytime between 18 July to 27 August.
