Hi. I'm interested in crewing on a boat.
Have a little sailing experience. And, I'm eager to learn.
I'd prefer something long-term (at least 2 or 3 months, but preferably up to 1 or 2 years) I'm currently traveling around Central America (in Panama at the moment)

In the US many people can afford sailing and sailboats. In Brasil ONLY the very rich own them. The very same boat in the US can cost $5000, in Brasil the same boat will cost you $25,000. They are mostly found in private yacht clubs. You didn't say what area you plan to visit but the RIO has a big one, there are some in Florianopolis SC, Porto Alegre RS, and up the coast. Speaking Portuguese will help a lot but these days most upper class speak English.

Don't forget, upper class Brasilians especially Cariocas won't give you the time of day especially if you don't speak Portuguese. From Michael Palin's series on Brasil for PBS ; asked a guy in Salvador whether people in RIO and Sao Paulo thought they were lazy or not - the guy says - "A Carioca will invite you to dinner but won't give you the address" - this is exactly who the upper class is. Don't mind that response from Florianopolis - she is desperate for business now that the economy is in the toilet, uses every opportunity to advertise her business regardless if it affets your situation or not.

Hello again!
Florianópolis is the island capital city of the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. I live there. Beautiful, very green place with lovely hills, lakes and over 40 beaches. Worth visiting. Excellent to live in. Excellent to raise kids. Excellent for holidays.
