Hey guys.
I'm a first year student at the Uni in Plymouth (don't worry, it's a marine course :P).
To be honest, the Uni dinghy club leaves a lot to be desired, they certainly have no Merlins. As of yet I have not sorted my own boat out down here and I'm desperate for a good sail.
I was simply wondering if there are any sailors down here in Plymouth and Salcombe or the surrounding area, that are in need of a crew or helm for their boat.
I have been sailing Merlins for 3 years, sailing for a total of 8, my boat was a restoration/refit so I know my way around very well. I have predominatly helmed, but I'm most up for crewing as well with plenty of experience in this position. I have a car and a towbar so I can get around and tow if wish to go furthur afield.
I'm mainly into racing but a nice blast around is good too.
Please get in touch if I might be of any use to you or you can point me in the right direction.
Cheers guys,
Martin Summerfield

Best bet are the guys at Starcoss.

Hi Martin

Starcross is a bit further up the A38, but as most of the journey is on fast road it doesn't take much longer than getting to Salcombe.  We've got a fleet of 10 Merlins at Starcross (plus a couple of people looking for boats) and regularly get 5 or 6 turn out for each club race.  I've just taken over as Merlin fleet captain at Starcross - drop me an email or tel (01626) 333865 and we'll see what we can sort out, there is often someone looking for crew.

Regards
