THE CREW

For the Round the Island Race 2016, Yalch'ik III for GIVE EUR-HOPE will be crewed only  by 5 members (limited by the number of sleeping berths) of the EUR Sailing Team. The Yalch'ik III crew is multi-tasks in order to perform the various role on board under the sharp eye of the skipper.

The crew positions are:

  • The skipper: He has the responsability of the crew and the boat. He is competent to deal with any weather condition and situations. He is responsible for a safe navigation and is assisted by the crew  in running the yacht efficiently.

  • The mainsail trimmer:  Trims mainsail for the best speed and tactics. He communicates constantly with the headsail trimmer and helmsman to keep both sails in the same trim mode, maintain a balanced sail plan, and keep the boat going on the right heading and speed.

  • The headsail trimmer and bow: Communicates directly with helmsman about speed and height,  the pressure in the sail, and the location of nearby marks and other boats. He communicates with main trimmer about speed.

   

  • The tailer:  He tails new jib sheet during the tacks, trims guy downwind, backs up headsail trimmer and calls approaching breeze upwind

  • The pit:  Adjusts halyards, spinnaker pole settings, and some sail settings. Call time to the start. Be sure to speak loud, clear, and constant. Adjusts settings such as the vang, outhaul, or jib halyard. Assist trimmers by helping to keep the cockpit lines clear.
