| I am in great shape, thrive on four to six hours sleep, easy at making friends and don't complain.We currently club race everyweek on my SanJuan 24 and I am getting my captains license this year. I have raced with the current Vic-Maui record holder James McDowell on his Farr 45 in Hawaii, we took first to finish by 25 minutes in the Inner Island Regatta. I also can repair pretty much anything mechanical, including fiberglass repair and electrical. I can cook if needed, but am more a cold sammich kinda guy. My hobbies: sailboat racing, scuba diving, rockclimbing and snowboarding. Please email to teamwikiwiki@yahoo.com because the link thru this site does not work. Thank you, Steve. | |||

| Have a Great desire to do the Vic Maui. Have raced around the cans for 8+ years, in all boat positions and on boats to 40 feet but mostly on smaller boats (22 to 28). Currently own three boats and sucessfully campaign a Santana 23 DB have won the odd regatta on Okanagan Lake. I have also owned three other keel boats. A career as a Rock Climbing Guide (10+ years) and as a professional Ski Patroler (15 years) give many skills that are transferable to racing and cruising. Traveling to the coast for training prior to the race is no problem. Cheers Lyle Thiede | |||

| I have been sailing my entire life, my first experience being on a hobie cat in Kailua, HI when I was 2, where my father raced them. I have lived aboard and cruised sailboats for most of my adult Iife, and have recently gotten in to racing after acquiring a Baltic 39 about two years ago. I sailed her in the 2009 Swiftsure (long course) and was considering entering her in Vic-Maui, however I realized that I couldn't get the boat ready in time. I also would like to build some more off-shore experience (and so would my insurance company!). I've done some local racing, and coastal cruising. I am a laid-back person, and take direction well, and I feel like I would bring value to any team, though I should not be the cook. I would be happy to take some of the safety courses listed on the site, and help prepare the boat leading up to the race. | |||

| I am here not for myself but to find a boat for a friend as a surprise! Tony is a very dear friend of mine. He mentioned to me a while ago that one of his dreams is to sail the Victoria Maui race. My dream is to help make that happen for him, so here I am. I don't know all the details of Tony's sailing background but will share what I do know. He has 50 years sailing experience, he has sailed and skippered the Swiftsure on more than one occassion, he built a round the world sailboat with the intention of circumnavigating the world however a family situation forced the cancellation of these plans - the boat has subsequently sailed around the world on a number of occassions. Tony is a very enthusiastic and skilled sailor. Along with his passion for sailing, he is skilled with power vessels and runs a successful marine based business. Tony is a team player, considerate of others, can cook and will be an extremely motivated crew for your boat! I hope that you can help me fill this dream for him! The cat is out of the bag and Tony has created his own profile! Check him out - Anton Roberts! | |||

| Hello all. I have been sailing for 3 years now. My resume is good though for just getting started. I have sailed in numerous regattas. The 2008 Santana 20 Nationals, 2008 Oregon Offshore, 2008 International Swiftsure and last summer delivered a Pacific Cup yacht (Ada Helen) back from Hawaii. I am very handy anywhere needed. I am very interested in learning more about sailing in the Northwest. This race would give me an excellent opportunity to race offshore again and close to home. I can help out anywhere. I have proven myself a great cook at sea and capable of steering, trimming, and bow work. I am very positive and team player. Currently in the Oregon National Guard...so I am fit and able.
