Bob Shipley Award of Good Seamanship (perpetual)

Rear Commodore

Commodore

The Bob Shipley Award of Good Seamanship recognizes the help that people on the cruise provide to others and or the club that is over and above the call of duty. To be eligible to win this award, you must have participated on a cruise and done something that people will recognize as outstanding duty to another cruiser, the cruising fleet, or to the club as a whole.

Someone seeing this action should send a nomination to the Rear Commodore detailing the reason for the nomination. The Rear Commodore will compile this list and broadcast it to the cruisers for a vote. Any voting member in good standing who has participated in at least 1 on water cruise during the season can vote. The Rear Commodore will break all ties. The recipient with the highest number of votes will win the award and hold it until a new recipient is selected.
