Ask for Help on Your Boat

Describe the work and what helpers will learn. People who want hands-on experience can offer to help — you choose who, and whether you pay.

2. Safety — what the work involves

Tick everything that applies. Helpers see the safety gear each hazard needs. Tasks marked skilled only can’t be offered to beginners — hire a pro through The Heeling List if you don’t have experienced help.

5. What you offer helpers

Is this your personal boat? Yes — it’s my own boat, not used for a business No — it’s used commercially (charter, rental, a business’s boat)

Unpaid volunteer help is only for personal boats. Businesses must pay helpers (and should check employment and insurance rules) — or hire a pro through The Heeling List.

Any pay is between you and your helpers, outside the site — Sailboats USA never handles money. Paying people can bring tax and insurance obligations; check what applies to you.

Before you post, please confirm: I have permission to have helpers work on my boat where it’s located. Many marinas and boatyards restrict do-it-yourself work, outside workers, bottom sanding/painting, or hot work. What to check Helpers must be 18 or older, and I’ll give every helper a safety briefing, the safety gear listed above, and supervision. I agree to the Learn the Ropes terms and understand Sailboats USA doesn’t screen, supervise, insure, or pay helpers.
