Racing along Hudson

Alex_Wei · #1 (**permalink**) 04-28-2005

Hi All,

Does anyone know of any boats that may need crew for racing or cruising along the Hudson. I live in Wappingers Falls, so any boats that dock or pass through from Beacon to Poughkeepsie would be great. I''ve sailed a couple years in college, but am looking for more experience. I''ve seen a lot of racing around NYC, but that''s a 2hr train ride for me.

Sorry All,

Didn''t see there was a board dedicated for crew until after I had this posted.

You may have to cross the river, but I''ve heard there''s a Thistle fleet at Nyack YC.

I sail out of the Chelsea YC (down off of 9D) we race every Sunday starting in a few weeks. There always is someone looking for crew (including mee every once in a while) it''s not too terribly serious (well sometimes it is) but it''s definately a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Races start at 1:00 so you''d have to be there by noon to get a ride. Send me an email offline and I''ll let you know more.
