Crew Info

Whether you're an experienced hand or have never sailed before in your life, opportunities abound to crew for sailboats in Oak Harbor. Most races are held from March through September, but Vikings sail right through the winter.

We encourage interested parties to email their contact information to dave@oakharborvikings.com. A Viking will contact you (via email or phone- not with a weapon). With your permission only, you'll be listed below so that skippers needing crew can contact you directly. At the present time, most boats are in need of crew as we are rapidly growing. Please note that the list below is most often empty or quite short, as available crew rapidly become active, battle-axe-wielding, lutefisk-eating Vikings.

New crew are encouraged (but not required) to know how to tie bowline and figure eight knots, and how to cleat and coil a line. Having an understanding of the five points of sail wouldn't hurt either. These basics can be found on the Education page of this site.
