Default Racing - hows, whys & wherefores?

I'd like to get some racing experience, but I don't know where to start - & as I understand you have to sign up for several months at a time, I want to make sure I get it right.

So I guess there are a few questions:

1. Where are the best places to look for crewing opportunities?
2. How do you pick a good boat/skipper? (I'm going primarily for the sailing, not the socialising, so I'd like to find someone who takes it seriously.)
3. Will I have to wait till spring to get going?

I have a Yachtmaster cert but no racing experience, & don't expect to start anywhere except at the bottom......

All help, as always, much appreciated.
