Last Wednesday Another Chapter took on a crew member who had never sailed before, and she had a great time, as did the rest of the crew. With Twilight sailing just over a week away, consider taking a beginner onboard. The Sailing Results system enables you to register someone new, and issue them an automatic sail pass. The Crew Match system is there to help match boats with crews. Talk to the Sailing Office if you need help getting set up.
