Hi Sailors, my mate Pete and I are either building a team to charter a boat or seeking a ride to join another team. Would love to generate some leads on either option and super excited to race!

Hi all, we have decided to build a team and charter a raceboat for KC. So far we have a crew of 3 experienced sailors, meaning we have two-three slots for folks who want to race and are willing to pay a share of the charter fee. We are looking at a racing trimaran, corsair 27, which is a fast and fun boat in both light and medium to heavy air. We have campaigned her in KC before in the multihull class, and sailed her fun and fast around the bay of phuket on a leisure adventure as well, so we have some nice working background with her performance. Charter fee is quite reasonable as well. If you think you are a good fit for the team, drop me a line with your contact and we can hop on a call. -Ryan
Team so far:

Helm
Main Trimmer + Offside
Headsail Trimmer
Mast & Boards (Strength)
Foredeck

Team: Aussie, Japanese, American, +you, +you

Ryan,

 

I am interested if you are still looking for crew.

 

About myself: I crew/race on a J122 in the United States and cruise on the weekends on several larger boats (36-50ft). For the last 3 years I have run mast/bow assist on the J122 "Elbow Room" (Google us). I run hand over hand until we reach the top. I am 31 years old, 6ft 2in/188cm, weigh 230 lbs/105kg, and can bench press 200lbs/91kg. I can pay for myself, willing to pay for the charter fee. I currently live in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam working as an engineering project leader for a power tool manufacturing company. This is a bucket list race for me so if there is interest on your end I would be happy to have a conversation via WhatsApp (+19208839701) or maybe even fly to Phutek to meet. I also have experienced friends from the same J122 that would be interested in crewing so this could be a packaged deal if more hands are needed.
