Olson's Classic Yachts 2014 Crew List
|
Welcome to the crew list! Sailing is often more fun when you have someone else on board. If you are looking for someone to sail with you, you're in the right place.
The following is a list of sailors we know and think highly of. While they have differing degrees of knowledge, everyone on this list knows their fore from their aft and crucially, we think you'll like them. When you want someone to sail with, just give them a call and see if they're free. |
