I think it would help if you first learn about sailing. Once you have even a small amount of experience, there are many people looking for crew. I have a 40′ sailboat and I am always looking “good” crew. Someone who knows just a little about sailing but is willing to work and learn. There are “singles” sailing organizations in most popular sailing areas and this is a good place to meet people looking for crew. Particularly with your skills, you should be able to find people to sail with very easily.
To learn the basics take either a couple Power Squadron courses or the Coast Guard Auxiliary offers classes too. Both are very inexpensive and quite good.
Another way to learn to sail is to go down to the local Marinas and talk to Boat owners. Make up a “resume” with contact info, a list of your skills and be straight forward about what you want. “Will work for sailing”. A few references would be bad either.
As I said, most boat owners are always looking for crew who are willing to help and work. There are LOTS of people who want to go for a ride. They don’t get asked back. The ones who help (includes cleaning, sanding, polishing, cooking, etc) always get asked back. Over and over.
Good luck.
