Blue Agave is a Beneteau 40.7. It is fast and comfortable, We prefer to do Southwestern YC Club races, the Beer Cans and Hot Rum Races, not an intense schedule, more focused on a good day on the water than hard core crew work. However, Blue Agave requires some skill and effort to get around a course properly. If you are interested in upping your skill level and enjoy good company - give me a call.

I am looking for a crew for my Flying Dutchman sailboat to sail in Thursday night racing and some weekends at MBYC, San Diego Bay, and South Bay. The Thursday night races start at 6pm starting in late April and go to Labor Day. Down the road, I would like to sail in the FD Worlds in New Zealand in late 2018 and early 2019. FD sailboats favor taller and larger crews over 5’11” and 180-210 lbs. Videos of FD sailing are provided below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFlIK5thOqA&index=9&list=PLmaLR2G6jmk0R8oKyWM0Iu4mRiBw54sYd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fphjp0DJ2mk&feature=youtu.be https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLmaLR2G6jmk0R8oKyWM0Iu4mRiBw54sYd&v=UFlIK5thOqA https://vimeo.com/12821135 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQlvhjdCCRs

Looking for 1 person to help get my Morgan 33 sloop from San Diego to La Paz, Mexico. See attached photo or email request for it. Hoping to leave, weather permitting, near March 1, 2012. Need someone, non-smoker, with at least basic cruising sailing knowledge. We sail sober until anchored. This boat is decently equipped for the La Paz run: radar, SSB, nav & comm. gear, tiller pilot, Monitor wind vane, 3 anchors/rode, 30hp diesel, 60 gals fuel capacity, inflatable dinghy/4hp ob, solar panel, and inverter. I am recently retired and made this trip on another boat last Oct/Nov. Estimate 10-14 days as I plan to stop at several locations (at least Turtle Bay and Bahia Santa Maria) and surf several spots as conditions permit. Will avoid all bad weather and sail more than motoring. Consider this a cruise, not a delivery. Enjoyment takes priority. You’ll be expected to share in the cost of fuel and food. I will want you to come on board for a “compatability” sail in advance. This could be a day or overnight sail in or near San Diego.
