If you are interested in sailboat racing, want to learn more about it or just need an excuse to get out on the water this fall and winter--I have the perfect solution for you: consider crewing on Water Phantom in the NYRA 2025 Winter Series*, Nov 1-Feb 7 plus the Commodore's Ball Regatta on Feb 21.

Due to job changes, boat purchases, etc. I am looking for "...a few good men and women...", to join the crew this year. I need crew with or without any racing experience--you will learn by doing--and I am more concerned with your commitment to learn than your racing skills.

Allen has a Bonsun Chair for some lucky boat.

Contact Allen at 252-772-5969. He lives in the Fairfield Harbor. Going Up the Rig with the Help of a deck hand

Bosun’s chairs are comfortable and you can sit in them for a long time, so they make working on the mast easy.
