Any tips for starting crews?

I try to only crew with people who are in my guild or on the friends list, so they are always chatting. It just irritates me too much to be on a crew like the one you mentioned. It does, however, limit the crews I can be on, since we are a guild of 36 and I only have 18 people on my friends list (8 from the guild). I guess I'm just too selective with who I keep on there. I wish I knew a better way to get a good crew for you.

LOL I tried random crewing to see what would happen when it came out... over the course of about half an hour I got NO ONE. Still can't get anyone on my crew to this day. XD

once i made a few friends I just started sailing, the ones interested in manning a cannon show up, it just takes some time building trust with others, so that they know your good on a crew, cannon and or steering.
