Not only is it hard to find crew, but as you get older, it gets tougher...............the young guys want a "Grand Prix boat to sail on" and that ain't us. I do much as Gary does, plenty of drinks and a few snacks..........our whole Wednesday nite fleet gets together afterward at a local pub and my crew share the cost of beer and food there.....
One of the A fleet skippers used to have an email roster of over 15 guys and his secretary used to start a week in advance to line up crew. If you're going to race seriously, you need crew for every Wednesday from mid May through mid September, and then on most every weekend for one or both days. It is definitely hard to find crew.

Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:38:32 -0400 I do as you do. My skippers on the other boats I race on do the same. I'm grateful for the crew and want to make their trouble getting here and racing pleasant. Plus, they have to travel to get to my boat and I live here. One owner I race with is very generous, special kinds of snacks, homemade gourmet sandwiches, high-end beer. But, that is him - plus I help with labor on his boat (bottom sanding, (used to) tow it over here until he bought a bigger vehicle, etc. Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Oban Lambie" <oban.lam...@gmail.com> To: <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 4:24 PM Subject: Stus-List Who pays for the food and beer? > I've always provided snacks, water, sandwiches and beer for my Tuesday > nite racing crew.
