[Capri25] Crew Awards - Nominations due Oct 19

[Denise Eng]

Hi everyone -

Once again it's time to recognize all the great people who crew on Capri 25s.  Please submit nominations for the Smoozability Award and Rookie Crew of the Year Award by Wed, Oct 19 to me (engdenise at hotmail.com) or to Doug Dickerson (doug at molgren.com).  Please include details about why you think your nominee is deserving of recognition, which will be included in the ballot to help everyone make a knowledgeable choice.

Note that everyone in the fleet can vote on the Smoozability Award, but the final selection for Rookie Crew of the Year is determined by the fleet's Crew Representatives. Voting on all year-end awards will take place from Thurs, Oct 20 to Sat, Oct 29 (the Frostbite). 

See below for more info or check out the Fleet Rules on the Web site for details on all the different year-end awards (http://www.wyc.org/Capri25/rules.htm#TROPHIES%20AND%20AWARDS).

------------------------------------
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 nominees and details about 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

Last Year's Winners

Smoozability Award - This is awarded to the crew member that demonstrates the greatest passion for the Capri Fleet, smoozability, fun to sail/party with, and volunteerism to the fleet. Nomination and voting is open to any paid member of WYC who owns a Capri 25 or regularly crews on a Capri 25. Each owner or crew member 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. Award winners must be a paid crew member in the WYC log unless the Fleet Captain makes an exception due to extenuating circumstances.
