<p>Plenty of experience racing in the monohull class Swan 42, RP45, Phuket 8, Plateau, pit, trimmer Jib &amp; Main. Also, have a lot of experience racing in the Multi Hull class, Seacart 30 (Thor), Moore 1100 (Bonza). I've been sailing in Thailand for 24 years and would like to do another Kings Cup.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ryan,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am interested if you are still looking for crew.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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.</p>]]></content:encoded>
