Bubblehead... I've been, like you, rather averse to the idea of having crew. I feel it a challenge, or more of a challenge to do it, short handed, or single handed. However, my better judgement says that I have lots to learn from a fresh perspective. I try to relearn through them, while helping them learn everything. Sometimes they shock you.
Example. I had a guy who, in all honesty, I don't think will ever stick with sailing. He took ASA 101, and 103, bought a boat (22 foot starwind, nice boat)... and asked if he could crew for me. I said SURE!
He raced with me 2 times, and we don't always run our symmetrical spin (courses are odd sometimes), but on the second race we did. It was just 3 of us on the boat, so we were short, and I had him doing spinnaker trimming (light air)... HE SHOCKED ME!!! while he was just miserable at trimming the genoa, he picked right up on spin trimming, and knew it inside and out, like he'd been doing it his whole life! Pole angles, pole height, trim/ease.. right on it. We WALKED past the fleet while he was trimming downwind. I tried to learn all I could from him at that point.
YOU NEVER KNOW!
My steady crew, as I have 1... so we sailed a lot just double handed, was right out of ASA 101, and 103 as well. He bought a starwind 22, and 1 year later upgraded to an Oday 26... then he started to crew for me on the first race of the season in early June, winds were 20+... we arrived on the course reefed mainsail only doing hullspeed. The rest of the race was EPIC! I put him on the tiller THAT DAY, and I played crew (I'm faster at keeping us on our feet)... and we had a blast. He's been sailing with me since. He's a great sailor just 2 years later, and honestly I'd crew for him any day of the week.
So give it a try for a bit... Lord knows we could use more sailors, and better put sailors that know what they are doing. We all learn faster from people who have been doing it.
