I am hoping to find some one to help me with this.I thouht that if some one needed a crew ,although with no experiance I would be willing to learn and in that manner get to know how the 505 work in order to get my boat back in to the water. Crew gys@sentechsa.com or 082 974 5097.
Craig Parker I am new to sailing and have just bought a classic 505 that will be sailing hopefully after some minor repair work. I am keen to crew or skipper and while I can basically sail, I have no racing experience or experience on the 505.
I weigh in at 95kg and sail out of Rietvlei at the PSC. Sundays suits me best for sailing.
