August 17 - 23, 2025* and October 6 - 9, 2025*
Marina del Rey to Sausalito
We’re looking for motivated and skilled crew members to join us on a coastal upwind delivery of our Spencer 1330 Coho II from Marina del Rey, CA, to Sausalito, CA, scheduled* from August 17th through the 23rd, and October 6th - 9th. These passages will require teamwork, endurance, and a basic understanding of coastal navigation. *While we'll do our best to stick to this proposed schedule, safety is always our priority. The delivery could be delayed due to adverse weather conditions. The weather this time of year is generally favorable, but strong headwinds and complex coastal currents are a possibility.
The route covers some of California’s most scenic and challenging waters, including the potential for strong headwinds and complex coastal currents. We will be motor-sailing through both day and night, requiring all crew members to participate in rotating watches.
Experience with night sailing, sail trimming, and handling a variety of weather conditions will be highly beneficial. The weather conditions this time of year are generally favorable, however if serious adverse conditions are present, the delivery could be delayed.
You will be responsible for your own transportation to Marina del Rey. As a crew member, you’ll be expected to contribute to all aspects of the voyage, including helming, sail changes, navigation, and meal preparation. A positive attitude, good communication skills, and the ability to work well under pressure are essential. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in coastal delivery while enjoying the camaraderie of a dedicated crew.
If you're ready for a rewarding challenge and have a passion for sailing, we'd love to have you on board for this adventure. Visit the article, Down and Up the Coast - Southbound ASA 108 and Northbound Delivery Recap from 2024 by Mary Elkins.
