How do I start Crewing?
Whether you are new to sailing, or an experienced sailor, NPCL may be able to assist you in finding your next crewing opportunity.
In many cases the best way to find a crew position is to turn up on race days, two hours or so before the start times shown and approach skippers directly or ask at the office.
Things to remember when heading out sailing:
- A life jacket (most boats will have spares, but you are best to get one of your own that fits well and is comfortable for you to wear)
- Warm clothes that you don’t mind getting wet
- A warm wet weather jacket (even in summer it can get cold)
- Non-slip non-marking shoes
- Sailing gloves
- A hat, sunglasses & sunscreen
- A drink and something to eat (things to share with the rest of the crew is always appreciated and helps get a return invitation!)
