Hi everyone,
I'd like to learn sailing by joining a crew and do a trip with experienced people. Have almost no experience, only have my motor boat RYA certificate but none when it comes to sailing.

Where would you advise me looking? (internet, directly in harbours...)

Thanks in advance

What part of Oz are you in?
One of the easiest ways would be to go down to your nearest sailing / yacht club, and ask around, maybe start with some "no extras" racing, just jib and main. Get to know people, help with some deliveries when you feel your comfortable with your experience level.
There are some big races happening this time of year, most boats need delivering either to or from the races, so great opportunity to get your foot in the door next year.
Good luck.
