Delivery crew needed for 20m sailing yacht in Italy, June-July: Italy to Greece, Sept: Greece/Turkey back to Italy
Posted 11 months agoI'm the American captain of a Baltic 64 (similar to Swan) currently north of Rome.

Licenses not as important as skills and blue water experience. Full details …. [Link]

SailRacer
http://www.sailracer.co.uk/ www.Sail-Search.com : Being on the internet is not only about what happens between your keyboard, monitor and that thin piece of copper that connects you to everyone else, but also about relationships and the good old fashioned handshake. I met Simon Lovesey a while ago at the Mirror World Championships in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and see that he recently added his SailRacer.co.uk web site to the Sail Search Directory. SailRacer allows racing results from all sailing classes to be collated in one place. Forgive me, Simon, but I have always wanted to say the following: Simon says ; "My strategy has been to launch a unique service available to sailors across the racing spectrum - including the enthusiast out in a dinghy every week," I gave the Head2Head feature a go but came up empty handed - maybe in my old age I am pushing the wrong buttons….. Update: "Simon explains the Head2Head feature as follows: " Head2Head needs two sailors who have competed against each other and we have results for, try: nick thompson vs paul goodison " Well, I tried it and it is quite a nifty feature, giving you info on the regattas sailed, dates, class, position, number of wins over the other sailor and even fleet size. Click Here to try yourself . Easy enough to upload your results and there is a forum allowing you to natter away to your hearts content. I particularly liked the way that the Sailing Clubs are presented via Microsoft Virtual Earth. Quick Question; "Which is the Northernmost UK Sailing Club?" (* Answer Below) At the time that I popped in for a visit Simon had 1240 regatta event results listed. Quite an impressive number for the dead of winter and with lots more to come this summer I am sure. * Click Here to visit the Northernmost Sailing Club and drop a comment. [Link]
