GXSA Crew List

Do you sail less often than you would like ?  Perhaps we can help.....

What is the Crew List?

The GXSA Crew List is a mechanism for:

It's a way for Skippers to offer berths for short-term or long-term trips, today, tomorrow, next week, next month, etc..

It's a way for Crew to get in-touch, and.or keep in-touch.

How does it work?

The Crew List is an email-based system, based around an email address - This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..   People join an email-group, so that they can send/receive messages.   Only GXSA members can register.

Only GXSA members registered as members of Crew-List can send messages.  Only GXSA members registered as members of Crew-List can receive messages.  It's a closed group.  Messages sent by people that are NOT members of the group will be deleted, and not forwarded.

Messages sent to the group will be monitored - please respect other members and be aware of their sensibilities.  Users that are disrespectful will be discontinued.

 

Crew

If you receive a request for crew, and you would like to join the skipper on the trip, please respond to the email

Always rememeber that you are being invited to join the skipper in their own yacht (it's not a charter).  Remember that you are being invited into their home, and respect it as such.

If you would like to join the proposed trip, reply to the message, and hopefully the skipper will get back to you with a confirmation.

The Skipper should have included contact details in the email.  If not, look at the "Reply-To" email address, which will be the author's email address; be sure to reply the the correct address.

NB: We've setup the system so that the reply-to address is correct.  However some email clients ignore this when you reply to an email, and just reply to the from address..which is the email group.  Please be careful when replying.

Skippers

If you're going on a trip, and would like to offer a place to people on the crew-list, send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Be sure to include whatever contact details you like in the email body (email, phone, etc.).

Your email will be delivered to each person on the mailing group (it may take up-to 2 hours to deliver - you will receive a copy, yourself, as an indication that the message has been sent)

Your email address will be used as the reply-to address, so respondents can message directly back to you (and not the group); however if respondants just hit Reply the message may go to the group.

If you get too many responses, please make sure that you contact all the unsuccessful respondents.

Please respect that people are responding in the hope of a good experience.  We aim to reinforce the GXSA experience, so please respond to each message.

 

How to Sign-Up
