Crew
Icon typically races with a crew between 12-18. In the longer overnight events we typically race with 12-14 crew members. In the shorter events where higher winds are expected we sometimes race with as many as 18 crew members.
In 2012 we will be running one crew primarily staffed by our Pacific Cup team and supplemented in other major local events by other regulars. We also from time-to-time take visitors on local AYC events on a try-out basis.
As of Jan 1, 2011 our major event team is as follows:
Andy Koch - Navigator
Ben Colwell - Foredeck
Brent Campbell - Grinder
Brian Pistay - Foredeck
Bruce Durrant - Mast / Electronics
Colin Orsini - Grinder / Trimmer
Dave Stearns - Main / Trimmer
Derek Campbell - Main / Afterguard
Ian Sloan - Manager / Driver / Damage Control
Jan Majer - Main / Driver / Trimmer
Jeff Madrigali - Trimmer

It takes a lot of people to make a boat like Icon run - as a result we are always looking for new talent that are willing to make a commitment to the program. If you would like to be considered for our development team we would invite you to contact our team manager Ian Sloan for additional information. In general we look for people that are:
- Easy & fun to get along with
- In excellent physical shape
- Have serious racing experience (ex: M24, M32, F40, TP52)
- Have big boat experience
- Have a unique skill that we can use
