Phone: 6477120690
Experience: Grew up sailing dinghies. Spent a few years crewing 29ers and got pretty good at it (Ontario Sailing Team, making the podium on national events, going to worlds). I've coached, done a lot of race committees, and I have been doing collegiate sailing lately. I am just starting to get into keelboats. I'd feel most comfortable being a trimmer, foredeck, mast, or pit sort of crew member.
Goals: I really love racing and also want to get more involved in longer-distance events. Mainly looking for a calm boat to get out on the water on and have a good time.
Desired Events: Anything but preference towards weekend events

Experience: Have been sailing locally on Wed/Thurs nights, snowflake, polar bear, did legs of Vanisle a few years ago, did SOAR, Cow Bay, Maple Bay, Round Bowen, Salt Spring regattas before Covid. Have taken coastal nav, IYT ICC and am taking my RYA Day Skipper in March. Planning to renew my Offshore survival course in February. I'm usually either on trim, main, pit or mast and comfortable in any of these.
Goals: Just happy to be out on the water and jump in as a spare for any race or regatta but would really like to go out on some longer distance races. I'm super flexible and open though. Longer term I'm in the process of buying my own boat and am hoping to start circumnavigating/cruising in 2025.
