just make yourself sound really good at sailing and well travelled, i know u have been to more places than me and those places sounded interesting to just tell them that!

Wow!!!  That sounds so cool - well just talk about the qualities you have as a person that you think they will need onboard their boats and the kind of boats you have sailed in the past (especially any good races  ) and maybe talk about the things you just enjoy doing generally apart from sailing! Well that's an idea anyway.... ------------- x--x--x<x>x--x--x Topper 41825 Cherub 2539 (going, going and not quite but nearly gone)! |

Your sailing experience is going to be important, so list your major achievments, the length of time you have been involved in the sport, and the variety of boats you've sailed. However don't forget other aspects which could show your overall character. They will want to see that you have more than just sailing ability. For instance

make sure you mention other things to sailing cos employers will want to know ou are an interesting person who is interested in a vairiety of things. If you don't mention anything but sailing it will seem like you have nothing else in your world. ------------- -[Franko]- Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club RS600 933 |

You've got everybody's opinion, even serious stuff from Noble Marine and turnturtle! Now you need the final (and invaluable) bit of advice from BWD and you'll be on a winner!!  ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

Just make it up so as it sounds good. Don't worry if it is not 100% accurate, if it is a bit obscure enough to make it interesting they will not know how to check it anyway, and get a relative to act as your reference, just make sure they have a different surname. -------------
