Experienced crew - racing and cruising

Hi

I am a new member of DOSC and am looking looking to crew on both racing and cruising yachts.

I have been a keen sailor all of my life. I have extensive experience both on-shore and off-shore and have owned my own yacht & many dinghy's in Australia.

I have included more detailed summary of my sailing experience below

Most recent racing experience was 5 years as a racing crew and crew manager on a Jutsen 39 "Sweethart" out of RQYS in Brisbane. A bit rusty now (was 4 years ago).

You can contact me on 050 7059680 or jherps@gmail.com. Thanks in advance.

cheers, Jonathan
