Warning: Latitude Spring Crew List Party Responsible for Sailing Friendships

Our Spring Crew List Party is shaping up to be a fun night with a roomful of sailors making new connections and rekindling friendships made at previous parties. Do you have your ticket yet? We hope so, because tickets must be purchased in advance. We will have no ticket sales at the door.

Wondering why you would go to the Crew List Party? Where to start! Rather than our trying to convince you, we’ll share feedback from sailors who have been to crew parties across the seasons.

Greg Clausen has spent decades on the water after attending a Latitude crew party: “This is a must-do for anyone wanting to sail the Bay. It’s how I was introduced to Bay Area sailing 30 years ago!!”

The crew list and crew parties work well in tandem — if you want to get onto a boat or find crew, sign up on the Crew List page, then meet in person at the party! Bill Crowley says, “I’m still sailing with crew I connected with on the Crew List over 10 years ago! It has been a great help to me!” Karen Miller worked the system equally well: “I had a longtime dream and thanks to the L38 Crew List, I’ve sailed the Baja Ha-Ha 2021, 2022, 2023! Twice with Myron and Marina on Mykonos!! Great fun and wonderful people.”

David Delaney had made a promising connection with Chad and Carolyn Carvey at a Crew List Party one year (pre-COVID), and later (post-COVID) used the Crew List to reconnect. “I joined them the next day in Brookings, Oregon, on August 28, and now we were enjoying the sunshine in the Pacific Northwest.”

A few years back (circa 2014) Rich Morse was still very new to sailing when he attended a Crew List Party and “felt like a fish out of water.” He says he must have looked the part as a Latitude staff member helped by introducing him to a fellow Alameda sailor, Natasha Pyle. Well, the “fish out of water” was now happily ensconced on the ocean with a delivery to Anacortes, Washington, followed by volunteering aboard Pegasus out of Berkeley Marina …

“Five years later I have about 7,500 ocean miles from Cabo to Canada and up the East Coast. You could say that the Crew List Party changed my life!”
