One of our favorite things to do is race the Open 5.70. In California we have quite an active racing calendar that takes us from San Diego to San Francisco. In light air venues most Open 5.70s usually race with skipper + one crew, in heavier air locations we race with skipper + two crew. There are usually at least a couple of crewing opportunities at each regatta and most skippers are happy to have a local on board. We just ask that you are honest about your sailing experience so that we can match you with the appropriate skipper and boat to ensure everyone has fun on the race course. If you are interested in crewing at a particular event check out our events page and feel free to contact us.

You are also welcome to contact the owners directly through the Open 5.70 Class Association website.

Of course being crew on someone else's Open 5.70 will be a great experience. However, since the Class Rules have an owner-driver rule there won't be much of an opportunity to take the helm. If you are looking for a more hands on experience with more personal attention and time at the helm then you should consider a private demo.
