49er Crew Needed

Hi,

I am looking for either a temporary 49er crew or possibly permenant if it goes well and you want to continue.

No 49er experience needed, but you do need to have trapeze experience, asymetric experience etc. It would also help if you have sailed some kind of skiff but not compulsory.

I sail out of Rutland SC, I will be free for the next 3 weeks pretty much if you want to try it out.

Post here if your interested.

Thanks

Chris

Beware! there are lots of dreamers on here who claim to know more than they do.

Its surprisingly not actually that hard work with the kite sheet even in 18knots+ Specially if you wear builders gloves. What kind of experience do you have?

Its not that much different, the deck layout is extremely similar and actually easier as its not as cluttered, which is a big thing for me, don't know about you! I get confused between ropes easily .

It sails quite differently though, the 29er is a pain to sail in light breezes, the 49er is but no where near as much (more hull on the water I guess).

Heavy winds you get tired pretty quickly with the 49er, and you have to have lots of practice to sail in breeze.

It just takes a bit of getting used to but sailing a 29er does have similarities to sailing the 49er so its a good bonus been able to sail the 29er first (but not nessecary!) I only sailed the 29er a couple of times before, and apart from that I was on other single wire boats and one trip out on an rs600 in lightish wind.

Helming on the wire is actually easier than you think, its what put me off a bit but once you get used to where your putting your hands its actually easy, your out there nothing to catch on or anything and its actually quite relaxed . What wind have you sailed the 29er in?
