| 2/2/26 | Ahoy! My name is Savannah and I am a UCSC alumn- graduated in 2022. I fell in love with sailing as a Freshman and eventually became president of the UCSC Sailing team. I moved to San Francisco for work, and taught FJ sailing to kids at the National Maritime Association in the bay. Recently I moved back to Santa Cruz, and I'm hoping to return to sailing in familiar waters. I live very close to the harbor and would absolutely love to crew! I am very comfortable with the Santa Cruz waters and am happy to crew year round. Please don't hesitate to reach out! | savrh888@gmail.com<br>510-815-3192 |
