Beneteau 36.7 looking for advanced / experienced crew. Bowman preferred, but will consider other positions provided the candidate is experienced and willing to commit to the practice and racing schedule. This program is working towards taking the next step and wants committed, serious sailors who want to win while not yelling, playing well with others, and fitting in with a laid back group. Crew positions do not involve any maintenance, boat deliveries, or diving to clean the bottom (unless you want). Crew positions do involve showing up on time, ready to race, ready to focus, and then ready to have a few cocktails when we get back to shore. Future travel opportunities and other perks will be discussed.

We are a competitive Etchells team (30', no engine, no head, no cabin) racing out of Belmont. This is a "no yelling" friendly but competitive boat. We have about five race days for which we need an experienced bow person. Give me a call, if interested. Let's talk.

Fuzzy Logic, a year-old Dehler 34, is looking for four crew for the Chicago NOODs (June 16-18), and potentially one or two for the Chi-Mac, Queen's Cup, Verve and Tri State... depends. Would prefer some experience on the bow, but willing and able learners are also encouraged for any position. Atmosphere on board is laid-back and fun (in theory), but we're serious about making the boat go and doing well in a competitive PHRF III fleet. Drop me an email or give me call.

Team Wanda Wanda is a new boat to Chicago - as am I, the owner. Wanda is a high strung lady (or is it a tramp?) a Viper 830 sportboat. To give you an idea: -almost 28 feet -PHRF rating 66 -2600 pounds (half in a 7 foot deep bulb) -SA/D 45 uphill and about 120 downhill -Asymmetrical kite on sprit around 1000 sqf -Fully powered up in 7-8 knots air and planing from 12-15 knots air -Big roach main -carbon mast and sprit, carbon and PBO standing rigging -Unique spinnaker launcher/retrieval system -No furniture, head, sink, stove, TV, slumber chair - it's not a Winnebago - it's a race boat. I am planning on a fairly comprehensive racing schedule and associated practice sessions in the Chicago area. In addition away-regattas are in the plans when the boat team is up for it. These could include BIRW, KWRW, NOOD's Since I moved here from Connecticut I am looking to build a complete crew. Don't want or tolerate any screaming on my boat. I am there to sail hard, kick arse (hopefully) and have fun - not to stroke the egos of whiners and screamers. Would prefer if you have some dinghy and/or asym kite experience. Good sense of humor is a requirement! Bad-ass attitudes are negotiable. If you are interested in hearing more and/or joining Team Wanda, shoot me an email Cheers, Christian Jensen
