Introduction
Hi, I've been sailing since I was 12 or 13. I have two schooners, one of which I am trying to sell. I've made several ocean passages, and enjoy fun daysails and cruising most. I really like sailing, and enjoy meeting other people who like sailing.
Are you interested in racing and if so, what type of experience do you have? Willing to learn?
Not very. I've raced in sheltered water (Long Island Sound, NY Harbor, Georgian Bay) quite a bit, on different boats, but I'm really more interested in sailing for fun, and sailing to go places, than I am in racing around buoys.
Are you looking for crew? Are you willing to crew?
Often I am looking for crew. At the moment (June 2009), I am in Brazil, and looking for crew for ocean passages. More info on my blog at http://www.sailblogs.com/member/rhudson/
How much sailing have you done? What type of sailing would you like to do this season?
I've sailed about 40,000 miles.
Do you own a boat? If so, what kind, and where is it docked? If not, do you rent, charter, or use a sailing club?
I have a classic, 40 foot, gaff-rigged, steel schooner in New York, which I am trying to sell. I have a 52' steel staysail schooner which I bought in France and am slowly sailing to North America (currrent location Argentina), or somewhere.
What sailing courses have you taken? What certifications do you hold?
USCG "six-pack" license. I formerly taught sailing for the New York Community Sailing Association, and I teach various classes for this group.
