<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>How it works is it organizes Skippers that need crew and then
Crew that need a ride, by Geographic Areas and then specific Harbor areas.<span
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>Each Harbor Area has the ability to suggest
races that then go to that Harbors “Home Port Calendar” on the
site.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>When a skipper comes and says
he/she needs a crew person in this harbor, on this race date (from the
“Home Port Calendar”), they are presented with a list of crew that
also have come to the site and said they were available to crew on that date in
that harbor area.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>You can sort the names
by the names of the positions on the boat (who has what skill), you can look
over the crew persons resume and then you can call them or e-mail them.<span
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>When the skipper came to the site and started
to look for crew they also told the website that there was a position open on
their boat and so now crew members that come looking for a skipper on that date
in that harbor will now see a list of skippers that need crew, and the crew can
look over your resume as well to see who has the faster more competitive boat
or who is in the cruising fleet and doesn’t mind teaching a newbie<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
