Dear Captains:
I am researching for my dissertation how sailing captains lead in extreme situations such as when there is a strong potential for massive physical, psychological, or material consequences to them, the crew and/or the boat, such as storms, accidents, and any other similar situation. As an offshore sailor myself, I believe your stories will contribute to our understanding of these events.

I am contacting you through your member website as someone who has potentially been through these types of events and has stories to tell. I would very much like to interview you to hear your stories. If you have been through these kinds of events with crew on board, I very much hope that you will respond to this email
I expect that the interview will take about one to two hours and we can either meet in person if you are in the Seattle area or use Zoom to conduct the interview. I will send you a Zoom meeting notice that you can use to enter the meeting with me at the agreed upon time. I will be recording these interviews and then transcribing them into text so that I can analyze them.

Your confidentiality and anonymity will be protected by me. I will remove all references to your name from all written records. The only place your name will appear is in the emails we share arranging for the interview, and on your Consent Form, which will not be connected to the written record of the interview and kept secure on my computer.

If you can help me with this research by granting me an interview, I will explain more details about how your name will be protected and answer any of your concerns.

If you are willing to help me with this interview, please email me back with your location and the best way for us to meet or some good times for us to connect by Zoom. I am located in the Seattle area in Mukilteo, WA and would be happy to meet with you in person if you are close by. I look forward to hearing back from you. Also, if you know of other captains who could contribute to this research, please pass on this email on to them.
