CALLING ALL CREW! And skippers seeking crew At the Second Friday Sailors’ Social in March we are going to try something new! (Again? I hear you cry) Following the launch of a Yacht Section Crew Exchange WhatsApp group this year, we would like to invite all you potential crew men and women out there to come along to meet some of the crusty old sea-dogs who need the company, or those new boat owners who might appreciate others’ skills and experience. We hope that this event will give skippers and potential crew the opportunity to meet face to face – at an already convivial gathering – and be able to make arrangements to go sailing together. You don’t need to have signed up on the new WhatsApp group before this meeting, nor do you need to have regis- tered on the (already more or less defunct) website Crew Exchange; just come along to this evening! So, if you are interested in crewing on a yacht – whichever section you belong to – come along on Friday 13 th March at around 7pm and hopefully you will meet some like-minded people. After all, it is Friday the 13 th – what could go wrong? And if you are interested in crewing opportunities; or in offering such opportunities on your yacht but can’t make it on 13 th March, please get in contact with: Jerry Quinton ([email protected]) on 07941 572 409, or John Lake ([email protected]) on 07998 927 286 11
