Latitude 38’s Crew List – Your Ticket to Ride

"I began sailing about a year ago and immediately fell in love with the sport," wrote Pat Lakner. "Since boats needing crew are difficult to find on your own, a friend advised me to sign up for the Crew List on the Latitude 38 website, saying that the magazine is the ‘Bible’ of the sailing world. Even with my lack of experience, within two weeks the skipper of an F-27 contacted me for weekday sailing, which has turned into a weekly invitation. Two months later, the skipper of a 42-ft ketch contacted me to crew on his boat on weekends. There is no way I would be sailing nearly as much or getting such diverse experience without Latitude 38."

Signing up for the Crew List might open the door to opportunities you’ve never even dreamed of.

We’re proud to say that Latitude‘s Crew List has helped hundreds of sailors find rides for everything from daysailing to world cruising. It is now free, online, and available 24/7. In addition, consider attending our annual Mexico-Only Crew List Party, September 8 at Alameda’s Encinal YC (6 to 9 p.m.). Who knows, you might find a ride for this year’s Baja Ha-Ha rally that will begin a whole new lifestyle of international cruising!

Daily life in mainstream society can get a bit dreary these days. But we’ve found it helps keep our psyches in balance if we get a little silly once in a while.
We’ll have a report on the adventures of Alameda’s Pimentel Family — Rodney, Jane, CJ and Leo — in the Med in the September issue of Latitude 38, but in the meantime we have a few photos to share with you.
