It will be a great opportunity for me to crew for any boats participating in TRANSPAC 2008 to Tahiti and a great experience for you too to have a wonderful crew that is willing to do her part and to share the sailing/racing experiences together. I believe that we are going to have a great joy racing there (we race to win and of course we will get there safely). I am 26 female, 5 foot one and weighs about 110 pounds in great shape, with good eye sight and passed the Seafarer’s Medical Exam (received all vaccinations needed for Commercial Seafarer). My favourite sports besides sailing that help me build my strenght and stamina: White-water rafting, Swimming, Badminton, Horse Riding, Abseiling and Yoga. My personality is easy-going, fun to be around, helpful (people call me a “very kind and considerate” person), athletic, active, enthusiastic and I can stay calm and be aware of what’s going on around me (never panic when I have to handle unexpected situations). My profession is a business consultant and business coach. I also have my own fair trade design clothing/jewelry line that supports fair trade community around the world. Besides what I love in Arts and Business, I take sailing and racing seriously and that’s what I want to be because I want to enjoy it for the rest of my life. I take Yacht Design/Engineering course because I’m very determined to have my own business in yacht management and yacht design. On the racing boats, I enjoy doing every position if I need to, flexible in that sense. For tactician/navigating position and radio operating position, I request to have 2 months to prepare for all information needed for each race and will be well prepared and informed by the skipper about the plans in advance. Finally, I am grateful to have an opportunity to post my profile in here and I am very looking forward to crewing on your boat and sailing with you all the way with great fun to Tahiti and back home. Thank you so much…Tarnia Experiences:

Contact Phone Numbers: Jessica Clayton Address: e-mail: Jessica Clayton Age:25 Other Experience and Qualifications: I grew up in Marblehead MA, my parents and most of my extended family are life long sailors and watermen/women. I have been sailing since before I could remember- My parents have always owned cruising sailboats out of marblehead harbor. I started racing at approx age 10, first optis, then Lasers. I went on to race Lasers competitively until college. I was a pretty serious racer until I was 21, competing all over the country and world. I went to UC Santa Barbara and was recruited there to sail. I was their B Team womens skipper, racing FJ's. I have taught sailing and racing my whole life, every summer, until I was 21 as well. The summers between my sophmore and junior years of college, I was the captain of a 50ft Benetteau in the BVI for 3 months at a time, and had kids come down and spend 3 weeks at a time to live on the boat with me. We taught the kids everything about the sailing, caring, navigation, and handling of the boat, and took the boat to a different location in the BVI every single night. I have more limited off-shore experience, but have deliveried boats a few times up to parts of Maine from Boston and have delivered a Bristol 48 between the ABC islands in the Southern Caribbean. Right now, I am doing foredeck on a J-24 here in Santa Barbara. I really want to get into more off-shore racing and sailing. Ultimately, I want to be able to easily participate in transatlantic and transpac races and deliveries. I am strong, tough, and really love being on the water. I am just super comfortable on sailboats. I do well in stressful, less-than-ideal situations as well. Plus... I get along with folks of all kinds and like to have a good time regardless of the circumstances. Happy to go either way- race there or deliver back. Thx for reading, Jess 805-708-1078 Nolan Tate Address: e-mail: Nolan Tate Age:40 Other Experience and Qualifications: I have been on the ocean as a diver and dive master and tech diver. Tried sailing once a few years back and enjoyed it so much so that I enrolled in OCC school of sailing for classes. I learn quick and am willing to do what it takes to gain the experience or just help out until you leave. I am available on the weekends as I am a workaholic so during the week is limited. If you need help going or returning, let me know. Thanks Also, I did read about it once. Adam J. King Address: e-mail: Adam J. King Age:22 Other Experience and Qualifications: I am a highly experienced small boat sailor, starting from age 8, and sailing 420s competitively for four years on Cape Cod, where I grew up. Since coming to University, I have spent my summers yacht racing on Cape Cod. I am interested in either race or return crewing, and am available all summer (2009). Trevor Porter Address: e-mail: Trevor Porter Age:28 Other Experience and Qualifications: ASA Certified BKB & BCC. No racing experience. Mostly sailed 25ft singlehanded in SF bay only, no blue water experience but very eager and willing to put in the work. Paul Terhaar Address: e-mail: Paul Terhaar Age:32 Other Experience and Qualifications: I am looking for a ride for any offshore distance races (Cabo, Transpac, Tahiti, PAc Cup ect...). I have raced on several boats including J105s, J120s, 1d35s, Farr 40, RP 50, B40.7, B36.7, B32, Tripp 40, NM 43, Etchells, Soling, Snipe, FJs, Lasers, etc... I am currently the Jib trimmer on the J105 Wings of which we placed 2nd at the 2006 J105 Nationals. Have won several High Point and other races in Southern California and have competed in a number of Newport-Ensenada races on several different kinds of boats. I can do any position on a boat from being a Bow/Mast person on a J120, to calling tactics on a B32, to Navigating and triming the Jib, Main or Kite on the J105 or NM43. I am a very easy going, but competitive racer who is extremely capable of doing a number of jobs on a boat. By the way I have my own harness and have no problem going up the rig. Please email me if you need crew. Jim Moran Address: e-mail: Jim Moran Age:67 Other Experience and Qualifications: I am a life-long Great Lakes sailor. We have owned a Tartan 34-C for the past 15 years. Currently sail from Waukegan, IL on Lake Michigan. Since 2002, I have been invited back on a Hylas 54 for at least one east coast offshore passage each year. This trips have included two Caribbean 1500's, return to the Chesapeake from the Caribbean, Chesapeake to and from Maine and an exceptional Bay of Fundy trip. Past Commander, Waukegan Sail & Power Squadron, licenced Captain. Will consider a return passage, as well. I am a retired executive in excellent health. Detailed sailing resume as well as sailing and personal references will, of course, be available. I am familar with most sailboat systems and have worked on, repaired or maintained many. Thanks! Jim Moran Bob Frye Address: e-mail: Bob Frye Age:52 Other Experience and Qualifications: Currently own a Hunter H376 in San Diego for the past 7 years and prior to that a Catalina 30 for 5 years.

Bob Frye Cell # 602 320 8892. damiano ruggiero Address: e-mail: damiano ruggiero Age:53 Other Experience and Qualifications: not much racing experience, aside from a 2007 classic plastic in san francisco; have sailed as crew from san francisco to san diego in 1985 on an albin cumulus 28 and sailed in the bay of san francisco for about 15 years off and on. have taken sailing courses in the bay and feel at ease in rough whether. other qualifications are lots of life experience, an easy going and gregarious temperament; speak 3 languages (english, italian, spanish)and competitive enough, with myself. Richard Mitchele Address: e-mail: Richard Mitchele Age:43 Other Experience and Qualifications: I usually live on the pointy end but I know how to turn a winch too (clockwise right?). I'm happy to drive in the bad stuff- no wind, too much wind, cold, lumpy, wet etc. On a beautiful sunny day on a screaming reach, the owner gets to drive and I respect that. I'm 6'1", 43 years old, 185 lbs. and have been doing bow for 25 years. Some recent races include LA to Cabo on the bow of 70' ULDB and the Marblehead to Halifax as bow on a Tripp 60 - First in class. Other experience includes three 8 Metre Worlds, Etchell NA's, KWRW, SORC, and I'm scheduled to do bow on a 60' for the 2008 Newport/Bermuda race. I've done thousands of delivery miles and enjoy that aspect of sailing almost as much as racing. I've lived and raced in Halifax, NS on the east coast of Canada for the past eight years so I'm used to big air. I currently live in Toronto. I've completed the ISAF Offshore Survival Course and I'm a certified PADI Dive Master. I'm easy going with, what some might call, a twisted sense of humor. I don't smoke and prefer to race a dry boat. I can fix just about anything on a boat with duct tape and a paperclip and I'd be happy to come out a few days early and help prep the boat. I'm up for the race and possibly the delivery home for a small contribution to the benevolent society for retired bowmen.
