Don’t Be a Nigel No-Friends, Join Tomorrow’s Latitude 38 Crew Party

Let’s face it, sometimes you just want to stay home and be a hermit. Maybe you think all the sailors already have crew. Maybe you think no one will pick you (flashback to high school gym class). But here’s the thing … sailors are an indulgent lot. We always want more. More wind, more sail, more sunshine, and more crew. Rarely have we come across anyone who says, “I have way too many crew!” Even if they do, they still come to the Latitude 38 Crew Parties, because “you never know when you’re going to want another crew.” And we haven’t even started on the sailors who don’t have their own boat and are always ready and willing to hop aboard OPBs (other people’s boats). Overall, there’s a pretty good balance of boat owners looking for crew, and crew looking for boats to join. That’s why each spring (almost) we throw a party and bring together the sailing community from all across the Bay Area, and sometimes beyond!

Tomorrow night, March 5, we’re hosting this year’s spring shindig at the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco. Scores of sailors have pre-purchased tickets and are keen as mustard to mingle with their salty kinfolk. Are you among them? And are you a serial crew-party attendee who has forged many new friendships through these biannual gatherings? Latitude’s newest team member, Maddy Garcia, found herself sailing with Jon Price, a crew-party regular who has found many of his boat crew through the crew parties, and through Latitude’s online crew list.

Summer is upon us, folks, and if you’re not rugged up, rigged up and crewed up, you’ll be missing out on some of the West Coast’s greatest fun. Come join us at 6 p.m. for winter/spring’s best sailing get-together at the Golden Gate Yacht Club. Oh, and as you’re adding this date to your calendar, put your name on the crew list too — that way you can easily build on the connections you make.
