We are looking for people to open their house up to sailor teams. Now, I know opening your house up to complete strangers can be a little unnerving, but someone opened up their house to my team at the J22 Worlds. And, honestly, it was one of the best parts of the entire trip for us and them. Please let me know if you would like to become a WYC super hero and host a team for this event or if you are a solid maybe depending on summer plans. I guarantee that you will enjoy the experience. Below are some benefits and common concerns about hosting a team.
