CREW BANK

I have the two day Offshore Personal Survival Course, VHF and PCOC, but otherwise minimal official qualifications.
However, I consider myself a very capable sailor and can provide references to back this up.

I can do any position, but am generally happier further back on the boat – driving, trim, or tactics.

happy winds 🙂

I look forward to yet another awesome time!

i’m a pretty versatile, and chill problem solver under sail.

Did safety at sea about 2015; will do 2 day class as soon as possible.

I prefer trimming and helm. I do bow on Etchells, sometimes pit on S2.

Have advanced marine first aid, looking at getting my Offshore survival course but do not have it yet.

Willing to do which ever position I’ve done them all a bit; bow, pit, main, helm, etc

Im fairly new to sailing but I do have some experience. I have helped deliver a catamaran to the bahamas from france last winter and am signed up for the 2025-26 edition of the clipper round the world race (legs 7 &8) and have completed 2 levels of training as of writing this. I can put you in touch with the training skippers if you would like. I open to honing my skills in whichever crew position you have available.

I am Elodie. I have been racing for the last 4 years on somewhat small boat, 28 to 42ft sailboat.
I started racing on the Saint-Laurence River in Quebec and I am now racing for the third season in English bay for the Polar Bear Series. I did the short series out of Bowen last fall and the Fraser Light Ship 2024.

On top of that, I have a sailboat with my partner. A C&C 36ft 1981. We’ve been cruising around for the last 4 years.
I am getting use to do pit. I have a lot of desire to learn how to run the bow. I did the Fraser Lightship at the bow and had a lot of fun!

I have my OFA 3 up to date. If I am not sailing I am a climbing arborist and I teach Avalanche Training.
I would be please to tell you more about myself.

I’m an experienced and versatile sailor eager to join a crew for the Van Isle 360. Here’s a bit about me:

Certifications: ROCM, Safety at Sea, PCOC

Experience:
• 6 years of Wednesday & Thursday night racing
• 3 years of Snowflake & Polar Bear series
• 4 Southern Straits races

I’m comfortable in various positions on the boat but typically find myself on foredeck or trim. I bring a great personality, sense of humour and enjoy working with teams that play well together, value safety, and ensure everyone is comfortable for the journey.

I’m looking forward to an adventurous experience and further expanding my sailing knowledge. If you’re seeking a reliable and enthusiastic crew member, I’d love to connect!

Feel free to reach out to discuss further

I’m experienced ocean and open water sailor in our local waters. Im comfortable in any position required on board. Including the galley which I think is the most important.
I have first aid and safety and sea.
Looking to have fun and race hard.
Cheers, Scott

Hi there, I am very interested in participating the race which is going to be my first offshore experience. Ive been sailing solo all around the year with my Ontario 32 . Ive raced in small regattas around the coast such as round Bowen , Cowbay , Marina Island and couple regattas that happened at Victoria Yacth club. I am an intermediate solo sailor but definitely a beginner racer.(currently working as a deckhand). My main reason to participate to this race is to learn and improve my sailing skills , so I am super flexible on crew positions and tasks.

I hope you have a spot for me on your vessel :))

I have a valid SOS, expiring in 2026.

Open to all crew positions but most experienced in trimming. I’ve also got lots of helm experience as well. Moderate experience doing bow. Also up for sitting on the rail, never a bad day out at sea!

I am very excited to put my name forward for a position as a crew member to do the van isle 360. I am a very motivated sailor having grown up in Ireland racing in the north atlantic and sailed in some spicey conditions over the years. I would love the oppurtunity to race with whoever needs a good useful pair of hands. I am comfortable in any position on board and am always available to be the one below decks navigating or cooking as so far I have avoided seasickness on any passage, touch wood. I was picked as a crew member for the van isle back in 2017 but had to go home to Ireland for some family stuff so it would be a full circle story if I can do it this year. I have a very flexible life so could travel to train with the right crew If necessary. Really hoping to hear from you soon.

I’m able to commit to doing the entire race but also willing to jump aboard for just a leg or two as well.

I’m a easygoing girl who just loves to be out on the water sailing and racing. I did take part in the Van Isle before back in 2019, I have also been club racing year round since 2018, have done a lot of local regattas since 2018 between the island and the mainland, most recently last year Southern Straits, Swiftsure, Round Salt Spring, SOAR, Deep Cove Regatta, English Bay Scramble, Deep Cove Regatta.

I have my basic first aid certificate, personal offshore 1 day survival training, RYA Day Skipper, ICC, IYT Bareboat Skipper, IYT International Crew, Canada Coastal Navigation, ROCM, PCOC.

Most of the time I’m a main trimmer but capable/comfortable trimming/grinding, running pit, or doing mast.

If you have any questions for me feel free to reach out! Call/text or email 778-828-8197 or amymtbc@gmail.com.
