Navigating around the IoW during Cowes week is childsplay compared to this Web, never mind down to business.
I'm a 56 yr old Brit newly retired & settled near the Ocean Marina in Pattaya I'm RYA qualified to Coastal Skipper (Tidal) with 2,630 nm logged I've no racing experience but would be willing to crew (at my own expense) for anyone who needs a hand either racing or cruising, etc. & am available most w/ends & possibly some weekdays and am sure to be available for the regatta.
Crewed on : Discovery 55, Moody 46, Bavaria 44, 38, 36, IP 23.
Skippered : Bavaria 44, Beneteau 32, Hunter 28, IP 23
PS shame that this site isn't able to make it easier for "willing" crew to make contact with Skippers who may need an experienced helping hand.

Hi George,
Thanks for starting this. We are happy to make this the thread where people can post their availability. I have now linked to it from the main page so that it is easier to find. Good luck!
Hi George,
this is Mick Grover, Samui resident and partner in Sachting Siam Co Ltd. last year we entered two boats in the Sports boat class and gave crew places to 3 sailors wishing to race, and this year hope to enter one sports boat (an Elliot 7m Moon Shadow) and one multihull. Keep in touch with me at mickgrover@mac.com for more info. Incidently I agree with you about the website, took me ages to find your posting! Normally see it on "Crew wanted/looking"

Hi All,
I have just finished my Yachtmaster Ticket in Langkawi, based in Singapore would love to get involved in the next Regatta, although like George i have no racing experience i am extremely competitive and would love to get involved.
I'm Brian and was already part in the Skandia-Crew under Stuart Willimanson. Last couple of weeks we've been practicing hard for this regatta. Unfortunately in the last minute it turned out the Boat can't make it to the Samui-Regatta in time.
Now I'm here on Koh Samui 'stranded' without a boat for the whole week.
Anybody short of hands? Just let me know: +60172807034
Still looking for a spot.. BTW I can do a delivery after the regatta as things are a bit quiet in Dubai at the moment. I now have a Thai mobile no +66 8 13 42 42 26 Happy sailing from Trev http://www.myspace.com/yachtrocker
