National Yacht Club has the highly popular Crew Bank for those members who want to race or cruise - with or without experience.

Lists of 'crew looking for boat' and 'boat looking for crew' are posted outside the club on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday race nights and for occasional regattas. It's manned by a club member who will help place you on the right boat to match your skill level. It's an excellent and easy way to gain experience or find a regular crew.

In order to participate in Crew Bank, you must be a member, arrive with non-marking soled shoes no later than 5:30 PM. The Crew Bank moderator normally starts around 5:20 in front of ODD and runs the bank until Grand National fires its gun at 5:50. All boats leave the dock no later than 6 PM sharp. Also recommended are sailing gloves and your own PFD (personal flotation device).
