looking for a crewposition

first hi 2 all
i'm looking for crew position aprox. November 2008 till open.
I'm male 47 from Switzerland (living there at the moment) and citizen from australia. I do sailing since abouth 20 years with longer and shorter breaks, basicly on lakes and only four weeks bluewater expierence. I just finished the theoretical examination 4 bluewater sailing. So i can do navigation and chartwork. But i will get expierences and 2 know all of good seemansship. In this case i look for a crew position on a sailingboat with a good skipper, who likes to give his knowledge to a interested person. In return he gets a helping hand, where ever it needs one. I'm a reliable and social person.
If you dont have a position like i look for it right now, maybe u can give me some hints, where i can get some contacts for my intension.
Thanks to all who help me go along
Martin

To further speciald's point here is the website for the ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers - and yes, they go both ways - across the Atlantic that is): Welcome to World Cruising Club ARC Europe rally
I could not find out where 2 sign up as a volunteer crew 4 u. By the way, using 2 for 'to' and 4 for 'for' is not all that impressive to a boat owner or skipper who happens to own a $250,000 boat unless he or she happens to be a young person like yourself. I do not think that many people who own expensive ocean going boats do a lot of text messaging, IMHO. YMMV.
Edit: maybe things are a bit different in CH or OZ but I think spelling out your words makes you seem older and wiser.
