[Capri25]Crew Awards - Nominations due Oct 15

[Denise Eng]

Hi everyone –

In order to better recognize all the great people who crew on Capri 25s, we’ve introduced some new awards and redefined the Crew of the Year award.  See below for the details.  Note that everyone in the fleet can nominate and vote on the Smoozability Award!  

Nominations for all the crew awards are due by October 15.  Voting on all awards will take place from Oct 16 – Oct 29.  This year, we’ll have an award ballot posted on the Web site and we encourage everyone to use it to cast their votes.  As always, we’ll also accept votes via phone or email.

Please send nominations for Rookie Crew of the Year and the Smoozability Award to me (denise.eng at rhumblinepartners.com) or to Doug Dickerson (doug at molgren.com).  Please include some details about why you think your nominee is deserving of recognition to help everyone make a knowledgeable choice.

------------------------------------
Rookie Crew Of the Year - this is awarded to someone new to racing but not necessarily new to sailing who displays great participation, team spirit, and eagerness to learn.  Rookie crew is eligible for two full seasons after entering the fleet. The first season does not begin if the crew enters the fleet after July 15th.  We encourage crew membership at WYC but this is not mandatory for this award.  A keeper burgee trophy can be awarded to one to three rookies in a given year.

Boat owners will submit nominee and amount of participation.   Crew Reps will make the final selection. Three-fourths of scoring is based on participation provided by boat owners. One fourth based on enthusiasm, eagerness to learn, and team spirit

- High marks would go to how many total races the rookie has participated in.
- High marks would go to consistency of racing for example every Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday. 
- High marks would go to racing outside of WYC. 
- Ties breakers would go to attitude and performance.

Smoozability Award - this is awarded to the crew that demonstrates the greatest passion for the Capri Fleet, smoozability, fun to sail/party with, and volunteerism to the fleet. Voting and nomination is open to any paid member of WYC who owns a Capri 25 or regularly crews on a Capri 25. Each paid owner and crewmember is allowed one nomination and one vote.  Those who lease or own a share in a boat are not eligible to be nominated. Previous winners are not eligible. Children of boat owners are eligible. A crewmember nomination must be a paid crewmember in the WYC log unless the Fleet Captain makes an exception due to extenuating circumstances.
