CREW REGISTER
If you're a helm without a crew, refer to the Crew Register for people who want to sail with us.
If you'd like to crew (i.e. sail with us) but don't know a helm (i.e. someone with a boat), please contact the web editor and we'll add you to the Crew Register.
Perhaps you need to see us first - just come to the club (Directions) within a few hours of the published Start times, or on Wednesday evenings.
You can be even more proactive if you are really keen and know what you'd like to sail:
Catamarans
Get in touch with the Dart 18 fleet captain James Douglas or Fast Cat fleet captain Simon Stannard .
Crews and Helms Wanted
Other Fleets
Some boats only have one hull but that doesn't mean you can't share it. Some even have room for beer and picnics. If you'd like to find out about crewing on any of the monohulls, contact the relevant fleet captain, shown on the Fleets page. Same applies if you have a boat that merely needs someone with whom you can share it.
Crews, Helms and Beer Wanted
Novices
If you are a complete beginner of any age, with a desire to get wet and have some fun, but don't know what you want to sail - or better still, aren't fussy - take a look at the Fleets page to make your choice, or just drop in.

DART 15 FOR SALE. Sail number 1561.
I've just bought a share in a larger boat, and sadly won't be able to sail both. "Le Chat" is a 15ft sport version with a furling genoa, harness lines and footstraps. Two part mast. I replaced the cover and all the standing rigging in 2007. She comes complete with a very good quality galvanised adjustable lockable road trailer with full electrics plus beach wheels. New road wheels 2005 plus spare. Original documents inc rigging advice.
We've had loads of fun on the Dee and at Rhosneigr - she is fast and maneuverable. Can sail singlehanded or two up. In excellent condition.
£1750 to include cost of trailer which is worth around £300. She is at Dee Sailing Club, Thurstaston.
Some extras such as harness and flares can be negotiated.

If you can't find what you are looking for, suggested places to search would be www.catamaran.co.uk and local sailing clubs. Bala SC often has several older cats for sale that would appear to suit newcomers to Fast Cats especially.
Take a look at http://www.balacatamaranclub.org.uk/sale___wanted.htm for Bala's For Sale page.
www.Catamaran.co.uk
A useful website for finding secondhand cats and equipment is www.catamaran.co.uk. There are usually boats from under a grand up to as much as you like. Suggested categories for older boats suited to newcomers would include Darts 15, 16 & 18, Hobie, Nacra/Prindle, F18s, Hurricane, etc. If you're looking for something a little newer (and more expensive!) you could add Spitfires which are now coming into more acceptable second hand pricing.
