March-September 07 Team Yachtwork crew for Earthrace

Earthrace - First Time Around is a chronicle by master storyteller Scott Fratcher.

Technical and operational manuals written for your vessel

It’s common to find owners ready to upgrade the vessel’s crew, but the thought of having a new crew learn the boat may seem daunting. With a complete operators manual changing crew can be as simple as calling the crew agency and handing them a manual.

So make your life easier and know you have the information at your fingertips. You'll wonder how you lived without them!
