Comments: I am interested in either a race team or return delivery crew.
I am 27 years old and currently reside in Annapolis and I work as a PA-C in Neurosurgery
As a brief synopsis of my sailing experience, I started sailing while I was in high school and then sailed competitively in college with the Salisbury Sailing Team where I was the team captain/president for 3 of the 4 years that I was on the team. I sailed both FJs and 420s. During this time I also worked as a sailing instructor for Gibson Island Yacht Club and the Annapolis Sailing School. I have raced on J22, J24, J80 and have extensive experience (9 years) as crew for J30 “Shamrock” out of EYC, where we have participated in both short course and long distance racing. I have bareboat chartered in the BVI on a Beneteau Oceanis 43 as well as extensive Chesapeake Bay cruising experience. Additionally, I have worked for Dream Yacht Charters and their catamarans, including the Bali 4.0 and Lagoon 450 which included a delivery from Annapolis to the Bahamas as part of a 3 man crew. I am a qualified independent watch stander and expect to have my USCG captains license by May 2022. Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

Comments: Hi!
I am excited to contribute to the success of your boat and learn as much as I possible. My name is Andre Mitrano, I am 23, and I am graduating in the spring from Quinnipiac University. I grew up sailing and boating around Cape Cod and have been racing yachts for the last 6 years with my first Marion Bermuda race in 2019.
I have a big smile and energy all the time but know when to be focused and proactive in serious situations. I am ready to work and do any task asked of me, big or small. I have learned the skills and values of being a dynamic and reliable team player from a young age and what it takes to make a boat and its crew successful.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I am happy to provide a resume and references upon request.
Let’s sail fast!

Comments: I’ve been a cruiser for the last 15 years. Before that, a windsurfer and before that, a racer on small dinghy boats. I have a Pearson 31 and won the Sippy Cup (North Bay) race about 5 years ago – so I still love racing. I’ve single handed to and around the Bahamas (from Baltimore), chartered in the BVIs a couple times, owned three 30’ sailboats. I’ve short crewed with friends back from the USVIs (to Baltimore), and from the Bay to Maine and MA. I’ve crewed on several 35’ racing boats out of Annapolis but it’s been a while. I know the challenges of getting along well in closed quarters and have never had problems with that (my time as a Navy submariner probably helped). I worked for J-World for a couple years as a Coach. I’ve done some other minor teaching in the Baltimore area. I’ve only been to Bermuda once on a cruise ship so I’d love to do this race. I’m pretty good with troubleshooting/repairing most rigging, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, etc. boat issues. I’m currently planning on single handing to Buzzard’s Bay in July but would move that back if I could do this race. I’d prefer the race but would do both over and back or just back.

Comments: I'm interested in finding a great boat to crew on for A2B! I am good under pressure, have blue water experience, and have been sailing (as crew and skipper) since I was a kid. I grew up sailing small boats in Oriental, NC and graduated to big boats in 2002 (crewing on 35-52' monohulls and catamarans in NC; Chesapeake Bay, MD; and BVI). I took my ASA certifications in 2015 (ASA 101, 103, 104, 114), then began skippering on week-long charters 2016-today -- BVI, Grenadines, St Maarten/St Barths, Seychelles. I'm hoping to get more experience racing as crew in Annapolis in 2022 leading up to the A2B. I have only raced three times, but as skipper was able to do pretty well in my class -- came in first in class last race I skippered due to a great tactician and getting crew prepped the day before on sail trim and smooth tacking. I’ve been in some difficult sailing situations – knock down in storm off Bermuda and lost rudder cable in 4-6 foot seas off St Maarten – and know that I get calm and more focused in tough situations. When stuff isn’t hitting the fan, I’m easy going. I’m interested in getting more blue water and the finer points of sail trim in an ocean race. Need crew? Call me!
