Some of the clubs advertise for deck hands needed during races and the better skippers sometimes provide trips for crews. The racing season is probably on the wane with winter approaching but you may be able to locate some sailing by calling at clubs or asking at the club rooms. I also was lucky to sail in the Whit Sundays by answering an add in our local paper. Another trip went to Kangaroo Island for 2 weeks awesome ! My earliest trip was on the disappeared "Patanella" when she was sailing to Perth. Just thought I'd mention my trips to give you encouragement. My brother has also wanted some sailing experiences but has been unable to find a spot. So keep trying and keep in touch as we are looking at getting our own boat and neither of us have any sailing experience. On the trips I did I just followed the skippers orders and it was so great. howdy sorry do not have a boat at the moment still looking but spent years sailing with others.
