Are you, the Skipper, ever short of Crew?
Are you, the Crew, in need of a Skipper, so you can have the joy of sailing,
add miles or gain experience? Come to meet crew & skippers.

The purpose of the day is

- to find out the questions you need to ask to have a successful arrangement.
Whatever the reason skippers & crews get together, they sometimes make life-long friendships.
