I would like to offer myself as crew for any class of vessel. I grew up sailing toppers and lasers in Northwest England and then crewed on a few cruiser yachts sailing around the Solent area. 

I am currently studying for the RYA Yachmaster Offshore Theory certificate and expect to take this exam and the PVOL Grade 2 exam in May/June 2021.

I'm 28 years old. I grew up sailing a Laser II and a Hobie Cat, then sailed FJs, 420s and Flying Scots for Miami University. I have also competed in a handful of J-boat and Catamaran regattas.
I'm very versatile with the crew positions on big boats; though, the majority of my experience, and my preference, is as a bowman.
I haven't had the pleasure of sailing in a regatta for over a year, so I'm feening to get back on a boat and race!
I live in HK; am available on weekends and open to taking off work for long regattas.

Day Skipper qualified (Solent, UK). I am Russian-Norwegian and have just moved to Hong Kong and would be keen to continue sailing. I am used to the harsher conditions of the Solent in the UK, so imagine Hong Kong to be even more enjoyable. I have done several Sunsail races (mainly in the pit or helming occasionally) in the Solent, UK; Round the Island race (isle of Wight, UK) and a couple of corporate Flotilla races. I'm resilient and easy going and would love to get involved.

Furthermore, I sailed on all kinds of cruising and racing Yachts from 20 to 60 ft including our family-boat, a Swedish Omega 42. Additionally, I own the German Pleasure Craft License since six years so I am allowed to captain any kind of motorization. I would be happy to sail on any type of boat, either Dinghy or performance yachts.
