Crew Opportunities
At the Cruising Yacht Club of SA, we love seeing people experience the thrills and good times that can be had on the water. There are many opportunities for anyone – from experienced sea dogs to novices – to jump on one of our boats to crew for a race.
If you do not have a lot of experience or knowledge, don’t be put off. Many of our friendly skippers are happy to guide and mentor enthusiastic newbies. If you’d like some more in depth guidance and the chance to learn new skills, contact our Marine Academy. There are heaps of great courses on offer for all skill levels!
If you’d like to get involved in racing or have any questions please contact the Racing Manager on 8248 4222 or racing.manager@cycsa.com.au
