Good suggestion, 15 years ago as my daughter was graduating Case , she said , “bad news is I am moving to Baltimore, so I can’t crew for you this summer, but the good news is, that Mac (a friend of hers from Case) just got a job at the Erie GE, and he can sail for you”
And he has been on the boat ever since, turned into a great crew. (look for engineering students!)

I like your comments on how the female changes the male behavior. Your son might be able to recruit some college friends on board. I remember my son brought a couple guys on board and they brought friends who turned into a pretty good team.

This year I decided to up our game and go spinnaker class only to be reminded (Too many times) why I didn't do it in the past. Main reason for staying JAM before: crew. Main challenges this year: crew. Seems you have to kiss a lot of frogs before finding your charming princes. I'll give the only one factor that made a lot of difference: Try to find a nice lady or two. When she's on board 2 things happen: 1) The language gets cleaned-up 2) The guys that normally just sit around not doing much beyond pretending they're running a talk show seem to magically become more enterprising and useful. Apparently the macho thing is still alive and well As for us, as much as I love the challenge and action when flying a conventional spin, I'm seriously considering going back to JAM Good luck ! -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
