Here's the Breezin' Crew!

Rich

Also known as 'the boat owner', Rich has been sailing and racing boats for most of his life. In a momentary lapse of reason he bought Breezin' and made the jump from crew to skipper. Now he spends his summers with the great bunch of people you will meet below. Special skills include the ability to keep his cool when the crew screws up, the perfection of numerous "breezin" techniques, and ... and ... and, well to be quite honest we are still trying to figure out if he has any other skills. We've now found one of Rich's best skills - spitting off the back of the boat while in the starting sequence!

Dolores

The boat owner's wife and the real financial backing behind Breezin'. Special skills include asking questions during a critical tack or set thereby annoying the skipper, making sure the boat is stocked with food and beverages, and the ability to grind a winch whenever there is less than 10 knots of air. Favorite things to do during a regatta include saying "BITE ME!" and giving the competition that extra secret hand gesture on the race course.

Tommy

Our tactition & trimmer and all-around kind of crew member (meaning he will work any position the skipper tells him), Tom has been part of the Breezin' Team since 1995. Special skills include homemade beer making and ignoring his wifes cell phone calls during races. Favorite quote - 'Your beer looks empty!, need another?'.

Kathy

Kathy - The Queen of Solid Waste! Kathy is one of our main and spinnaker trimmers. Kathy has also learned the hard way (in fact on more than one occasion) that a full night of partying and rough weather regattas don't mix and tends to give her skin a paleish green tint on the race course.

John

John does mast and and jib/spinnaker trim. John is known for being the well needed wing man at times. He has a totally twisted sense of humor and really does LIKE girly drinks! He supplies the boat with lots of Mike's hard beverages which is greatly appreciated by the women of Breezin'.

Toni S.

Toni is one of our young and athletic crew and a proud member of the foredeck crew that has recently been named "Rich's Angels".

Kathryn

Kathryn is the boats resident fashionista and another member of the "Rich's Angels" foredeck crew.

Renae

Renae is another one of our foredeck crew although she is pictured here hanging out in a cockpit locker! She takes a lot of ribbing from the guys because of the kneepads she wears. Of course, Renae brags she can handle Breezin's oversized pole just fine!

Toni

Toni is our pit person and occasional jib trimmer. Toni makes great cookies for regattas but we usually have to send out someone to find her as she still gets lost on the way to other yacht clubs.

Jim

We met Jim hanging out by the beer truck at some local regattas several years ago. When the boat he sailed on stopped racing he decided to join up with the Breezin' Team.

Edele

Edele (AKA Lefty) is foredeck. Hmmm, does there seem to be a theme here with the foredectk crew? She will also migrate towards the back end of the boat as needed, but really likes it up there on the pointy end! Edele holds the priveledge of being the first (and only) ever "man overboard" from Breezin'. A real trouper, we were able to get her back on board and still make the windward mark without having to tack.

Craig

Craig is the newest member of the Breezin' Team just having joined us during the 2009 season.

PLEASE NOTE: Breezin' is an equal opportunity M/F boat. The current composition of crewmembers is purely coincidental and is subject to change without notice.....

However, there does seem to be a trend among our foredeck crew. It remains a mystery if this is because Rich prefers women running around on the pointy end, if the gender makeup of the foredeck crew is purely coincidence, or if the ladies are trying to put as much space as possible between them and the skipper. In addition to the above "regular" crew, We are often blessed by the presence of several part time crewmembers and the occasional family member or friend that wants to go for a ride. We are always in search of individuals interested in becoming part of the Breezin' Team. Although helpful, previous sailing experience is not a requirement, if you are atheletic, personable, reliable and willing to learn. Drop us a line and tell us a little about yourself...

This Team is dedicated to performing their best on the race course while having alot of fun! Although an important part of sailing, the consumption of alcohol is primarily a post race activity. If you would like the opportunity to sail on Breezin', email us!
