Crew Bank

Skippers & Crew

Review the information below, and then complete the Crew Bank form.

Skippers: There are many skilled sailors in the crew bank, and many people that we would love to introduce to our sport. They’re looking for weeknight and weekend racing and cruising, both dinghy and keelboat. Keep the list below. Or post your crew needs; there are people searching for a boat who haven’t posted here.

Crew: With NSC’s active weeknight and weekend racing program, there are lots of opportunities to get out racing — check out NSC’s Racing Program Overview. Interested in cruising? Other boat owners may be looking for crew for weekday, weeknight, or weekend pleasure sailing.

The more information you provide about your experience, interests, background, availability, etc., the more likely you are to find a good match.

The Crew Table

The Crew Table is effective too. Drop by the club on a keelboat race night around 5:00 – 5:30 p.m. Sit under the blue “tent” by the gate to the docks and greet people as they pass, ask: “Need a crew?” On Wednesday nights, walk the dinghy Park and ask people “Anyone need a crew?” The more nautical you look, and the more you engage people, the more sailing you will get. Don’t be shy!

Expectations

When committing to a crew or skipper, be sure that you have a good understanding of the other’s expectations. For cruising/pleasure sailing, your outing will usually be weather dependent. However, races are run rain or shine; for the Frostbite series, even snow is not cause to cancel racing. If there are active thunderstorms, racing will normally be postponed ashore, but often such storms move through quickly, allowing racing to proceed after some delay. So even if there is a torrential thunderstorm at 4:00 or 5:00 p.m., it does not mean that racing is cancelled for the day. If there is no wind, keelboats will almost always head out regardless, and often enough wind fills in to run a race. Hence, most skippers expect all of their crew to show up at the club, regardless of the forecast or actual weather.

Remember to wear non-marking, close-toed shoes; you may also want to bring a water bottle, and your own foul-weather gear and life-jacket if you have it, though many skippers have gear that you could use. Depending on the weather, and especially for dinghy crews, a dry change of clothes in the car is recommended.

NSC Membership

Non-members are welcome to register in the Crew Bank, though if you are not already an NSC member, it is our hope and expectation that you will become a crewing member if you use the club regularly.
