Message: Good day all,
My name is Ryan Rocke and I am an avid sailor from the Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago). My family and I have recently moved to the Texas city area and I am interested in partaking in the next (or current) racing season as crew for a vessel with an open spot. It should be noted that I am 31, 6’ tall and a lean 185 lbs.
A bit on my sailing history, I grew up representing my country in dinghy sailing via the Optimist, Laser Radial, Express 16 and 420 classes and have taken part in and polled in a number of notable regattas throughout the Caribbean and South America.
As I grew older, my love for sailing and prospects moved to larger vessels, as I capitalized on an opportunity to join the SOCA Sailboats team (Paul Ammon) and together, we manufactured the global Melges 32 class amongst other boats. Beyond that, I have held positions on vessels ranging from 24’-40’ (Etchell 30’s, J24’s, Melges 24’s, Beneteau First Class 10’s, etc.) that include foredeck, main trim, spinnaker trim, tactician and skipper. However, my favorite position of all was designated rum drinker which I look forward to reclaiming as the opportunity once again presents itself.
If need be, I have a letter of recommendation from my national sailing association (TTSA) as reference and validation.
Looking forward to your response and feedback.
Sincerely,
Ryan |

I'm an avid boater (incl. powerboat), and want to narrow down what I want to purchase soon for sailing. In short, I'm quick to learn, love the dynamics of sailing, and want to further my knowledge. Oh, and I have no problem laughing at my own mistakes, or anybody else's. Somebody gimme a shot, I'll bring whatever equipment I need of my own, no worries. |
